Publish in a newspaper
Judy (Punky) Bersie, beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away peacefully on May 11, 2025, after a brief but courageous battle with kidney failure. She was 84 years old.
Born in Minneapolis on September 10, 1941, Judy graduated from Hopkins High School in 1959. She was known for her radiant smile and her rare gift for making everyone feel seen-she could light up a room and seemed to know everyone by name. Her warmth, humor, and generous spirit touched the lives of many, and her presence will be deeply missed.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Juanita and Adrian Seck, her twin sister Julie Carmichael, and her brother George Seck.
Judy is survived by her loving husband, Dean; her children, Tami and Timothy (Inez); and her cherished grandson, Keegan. She is also survived by her siblings Adrienne Wheat (Seck), Geraldine Waller (Seck), Rebecca Dearstyne (Seck), and Hazel Gamec (Seck).
A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at Huber Funeral Home in Excelsior, MN at 1:00 pm. Following the service, family and friends are invited to gather at the Gold Nugget Tavern & Grill, 14401 Excelsior Blvd., Minnetonka, MN to share memories and honor Judy's life.
Her kindness, laughter, and love will remain in our hearts always.
