Donna Goetz Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Tippecanoe Funeral & Cremation Services on Jul. 22, 2024.
Donna Goetz passed away peacefully in her sleep on July 17, 2024. She was surrounded by family and had been battling Cancer. Donna was feisty and loved with her whole heart. You always knew where you stood with Donna. She was always true to herself and did not stray from what was important to her. Donna loved Karaoke and playing Euchre and darts with her family and friends. Music was a huge part of Donna's life; she loved Motown and loved to dance. She loved being a housewife and taking care of her husband; she was totally devoted to him. Donna loved her family and would do anything for them. Donna took her friends in and treated them like family; she was lovingly known as Momma "D." She will be dearly missed. Donna was preceded in death by her beautiful mother, Shirley Carey, her father, William Carey, and a brother, Charles Carey. She is survived by her husband, Charles Goetz; her son, Tony Russ, wife Amanda; three Grandchildren, Brayden Russ, Shea Russ, and Cyrena Hudson-Porter; and great-grandson, Jaxon Russ. A private celebration of life will be at a later date.
