Donna Turner Obituary

Donna Marie Turner, also known as Donna Lee. She was brought to us on November 25, 1952 and she joined her mother and father (Shirley and David Lee) on January 11, 2025. She was 72 years young.

As a Colorado native, she grew up in a loving household with her 3 siblings (Bobbee, Mary and Nancy). She enjoyed skiing, spending time in the outdoors and attending Broncos games. 

She raised her 2 wonderful children (Courtney and David) in Venezuela and the States. Her biggest accomplishment in life was becoming a grandmother to Turner, and from then on, being called “Gaga”. Before that, it was watching the Bronco’s win Super Bowl 50 in person in San Francisco with Courtney and David.

In her later years, she retired from the post office, spending as much time reading, continuing to cheer for the Broncos, and talking to her best friend, Debbie.

Donna had a heart of gold, and her love language was cooking and baking for others. She is survived by the aforementioned children, sisters, nieces, grandson, and innumerable friends.

We are at peace that Donna will continue to yell from above “Bronco’s fans, that pass was in-com-plete!”

The family encourages all who attend to wear their Denver Bronco's gear in remembrance of Donna.
