Donna was born on December 15, 1942 in Cuero, Texas. She was the daughter of the late Beth Hufham/Powell and Floyd Hufham. She passed away as a result from complications of heart surgery on March 5, 2016 in Fort Myers, Florida.
Donna left Lufkin after graduating from high school with two of her close friends to attend Trinity University in San Antonio, Texas.

Donna was a very talented singer (Soloed at Carnegie Hall) and an exceptional pianist. After graduation, she moved to Florida and fell in love with the warm weather and sandy beaches.
