Donna L. (Goss) Turner
Donna L. (Goss) Turner, of Coraopolis, went home to be with Jesus on February 25, 2024 in Good Samaritan Hospice at Heritage Valley Beaver. She was born in Sewickley, the daughter of the late Merle “Peck” & Helen (Moy) Goss.
Donna worked at her daughter’s dental office for 27 years. She loved to walk and do aerobics. She was a founding member of Abundant Grace Church West Hills, where her daughter is the Pastor. She started a homeless ministry over 15 years ago, which serves those on the fringes in downtown Pittsburgh. She loved her daughters, her family, her friends, and her church family with a passion. But more than that, she loved Jesus with her whole heart. She lived her life for Him, like Him, and with Him.
She is survived by her two daughters: Tracey Turner Corso (Tim), Moon Twp. and Shannon Turner, FL. She is also survived by her sister Beverly Hinzman (Dave), many nieces and nephews, cousins, her ex-husband John Turner, and many dear friends.
Friends will be received on Friday, March 8 from 4-7 pm at Abundant Grace Church West Hills—1798 Brodhead Road, Crescent, PA 15046. The funeral will be Saturday, March 9 at 10:30 am, also at Abundant Grace Church. Private interment at Sharon Community Presbyterian Cemetery at a later date.

If you knew Tracey her daughter, you knew Donna. I remember in college Donna would come and pick up Tracey every weekend to turn around and drive to Rochester to run the martial arts program. Then years later you saw Donna sitting at the front of the dental practice welcoming patients. And then years later at the ordination. Always there, always a rock. A true mother, friend, an everything. She lived a good life. May she rest in peace
I have been blessed to have been part of Donna‘s family. There wasn’t anyone in our church family who didn’t know Donna. Every Sunday she would greet you with that smile. I will miss that smile, and her bossiness, which made you smile. You couldn’t help but love her. She was such a wonderful disciple of the Lord. I am sure when she arrived in Heaven, she was greeted with “Well done my faithful servant “
Rest in peace, Donna, you are home with our Creator. We will see you again.
Me and my husband Danny met Donna when we joined her daughter Tracey’s church. I had recently just lost my mom and Donna reminded me so much of her and when I told Donna about my loss she immediately took me under her wing and loved me . I will forever be thankful for Donna and Tracey they have become my extended family. RIP my dear friend until we meet again. Forever in my heart ❤️
You will be deeply missed.
Love always
Sandy and Danny

I look at Mrs. DONNA as a mother because her personality was such amazing and the love that she had for people along with her daughter Mrs. TRACEY WAS REMARKABLE. Every time that I saw Mrs. DONNA and Mrs .Tracey I would give them the biggest huge ever and a kiss on there cheek and tell them what a wonderful job that they were doing. I’m so hurt broken to even hear or see this but I do want to say this R.W.G Mrs. DONNA and you will surely be missed by alot of people who love you!! To Mrs. TRACEY MY condolences go out to you and your family and always remember your mom is up there with the man above!!
What a beautiful woman of God! She loved her Lord and worked tirelessly to feed His sheep. She was a blessing to everyone lucky enough to know her! Her legacy will live on in her amazing daughters! Tracey we love you! May God surround you all with His amazing love and peace!
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death His Saints. (Psalm 116:15)
Lord, thank you for the gift of Donna. Receive back one of your true gems and enjoy each other please
This dear woman of God made me feel so welcome when I became Dave Hays’ wife. In the short few months I knew Donna, we shared Mom stories about our “kids” which we had a bond. I loved her “tell it like it is” attitude but most of all I deeply admired her love of our Lord. When my journey here is over I look forward to dance with the angels along side of her. Missing you.
To Dr. Turner and your family, sincere sympathies on the loss of your Mother. May you have forever in your hearts and minds many wonderful memories of her.
Thoughts & prayers with you all.

Dear Pastor and friend forever, Tracey,
your beloved Mom is in the arms of the Lord and it must comfort you greatly. She gave you life. She sustained your life. She added purpose and good for many in life, and always on your behalf. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.” Anne and I share in your joy!
Tracy, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was always the smiling face that greeting me in your office. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Dear Tracey and family,
We were so saddened to hear the news. Donna was loved here on earth and is loved by our Lord and Father in heaven. She is with him forever where we will be together with her and Him for eternity. We send you our sympathy and prayers that you feel His comfort.
