Donna Goodspeed Obituary
Donna was a cherished founding member of St. Isaac Jogues church, where she practiced her faith and served her community. She took immense pride in her family, surviving her brothers Paul and Robert Stroble. She leaves behind her loving husband, Harold Goodspeed, her children Stacy Gosnell (Jim), Bridget Edmunds (Jim), and Shawn Goodspeed (Karen). Donna was a proud grandmother to Andy, Ben, Taylor, Max, Abbey, Quinn, and Kyle, and a great-grandmother who cherished every moment spent with her family.
A funeral mass is scheduled for 10:00 AM on October 4th at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, 8416 Belair Rd, Baltimore, MD 21236. The service will be followed by a celebration of life reception in Middle River, MD. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, honoring Donna's lifelong commitment to the care and well-being of others.

Met her while she was eating with her family. She and her husband, Harold would hold hands while listening to music, and walking down the hall together.

I have so many wonderful memories of Mrs. Goodspeed at Pine Grove - such a "soft place to land" when you weren´t feeling well or you just wanted to get out of class ;-) I will never forget her sweet voice and touch, always welcoming no matter what!
And then I had the pleasure of sharing conversations at party gatherings with Donna as an adult (as part of my extended Edmunds family.) I have such fond memories of the loving person she was - an angel here on earth. She did an amazing job of blessing so many she knew and loved. May she continue to bless the many souls in heaven now. Rest in Peace, Mrs. Goodspeed. Love, Kristin

In loving memory of a wonderful woman. Ms. Donna was a special lady. She always had a smile and was pleasant despite her illness. I loved hearing the stories about her nursing career at the school with the children. Rest in Peace Ms. Donna.
Love Peggy
