She was raised in Porum and graduated from Porum High School in 1966. Donna continued her education at Connors State College and later earned her bachelor's degree from East Central University in Ada.

Donna devoted her life to education, beginning her teaching career at Crowder High School, where she taught for two years.

Donna retired from teaching in 2011, leaving behind a legacy of dedication to her students and community.
She was a faithful member of the Canadian Church of Christ for many years.
Donna enjoyed working outdoors, especially trimming trees and mowing her lawn on her beloved Bad Boy mower. She loved cooking for her family and friends and was known for being quite discerning when it came to others' cooking. Above all, her grandchildren were her pride and joy. Donna never missed a sporting event or school activity they participated in and enjoyed attending Canadian school basketball games.
