She attended the University of Northern Iowa and graduated from St. Luke's Methodist Hospital X-Ray Technology Program in Cedar Rapids. Donna later earned a Bachelors of Arts in Sociology from Webster University and a Masters Degree in Public Administration and Political Science from the University of Missouri, St. Louis, which included a legislative internship in the U.S. Congress.
Donna married James O.

In recent years, Donna was plagued by severe osteoporosis and other health issues that limited her mobility. She moved to Brooklyn in November 2009, where she received significant care and assistance from her sister-in-law Charlotte Roudabush and her family.
