Donna Marie Warren

Donna was a strong-willed, witty woman who had immense pride for her family and its history, especially her uncle, Roscoe Goose, the winning jockey of the 1913 Kentucky Derby. She herself was an accomplished equestrian and often spoke of her favorite childhood memories of riding her beloved horses on the trails of Southern Parkway and through Iroquois Park. Donna was known to call a spade a spade but always had a soft spot and a piece of chocolate for her grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Donna was preceded in death by her husband, Robert; her parents, William and Essell (Hoffman) Goose; her sister, Catherine Shea, and her twin brother, Carl Goose. Donna is survived by two daughters, Carla Grego (Donald) and Kathy Yancey (Bill); her son Robert Warren and her cherished friend and caretaker Charlynn Houseal. Donna was a proud Memaw to 7 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren.

The family would like to thank the kind staff of Wesley Manor for the tender care of their mother.

A service to honor the life of Donna will be held Sunday, November 3rd at 6pm in the chapel of Arch L. Heady at Resthaven Funeral Home 4400 Bardstown Road. Visitation will begin Sunday at 2pm until the start of the funeral.
