Bernice “Bonnie” Melody Hartman

January 8, 1954 ~ July 20, 2025

Bernice “Bonnie” M. Hartman, 71, Sioux Falls, SD, passed away from cancer on Sunday, July 20, 2025, at Sanford USD Medical Center in Sioux Falls with her loving son Luke, his wife Risa, and their daughter, Jolynn by her side.

There are no services planned at this time.

Bernice Melody Dwyer was born on January 8, 1954, in Hackensack, NJ, to Francis X. and Doris Elizabeth (Webb) Dwyer. Bonnie lived most of her life in Alaska with her son Luke and his family and then moved to South Dakota with them. Some called her a true tough Alaskan woman.

Bonnie made the most of her days as her cancer progressed and she made sure she continuously made memories to be cherished by her family.

Bonnie was a loving mother to her son Luke, and Luke’s family Risa, Nikki and Jolynn, Marion, Jess and Luke, Jim, Phil, and Sussie; she was the spunky sister to Frances, Dee Dee, Mike, Dennis, Peggy, Billy, Kathy, and Flo.  

Bonnie will be joining her angel baby and her parents in heaven but will always be remembered by her family and friends.
