Daughter of Jacob and his wife Frances (also Franziska or Francis) (maiden name unknown) Mercy. Arrived in the USA in the 1890's and lived for a number of years in New York, NY.
In the New York city directory of 1911, her occupation is listed as "Dentist" in an office she shared with her father, Jacob, also a dentist.
She married Mathurin Dondo on Jun 14, 1913, at which time they established what was characterized after Mathurin's death as "a marriage of exceptional strength and graciousness that extended over a period of fifty-five years".
She followed her husband on his extensive travels and Fellowships throughout his academic career, and was known to be a gracious hostess for all the gatherings at the Dondo home, a tradition that continued through their retirement in Hawaii.
A review of the record shows her to have been socially conscious and civically active. Through actions such as organizing adult education programs and frequent letters to the editors of her local newspapers, she expressed her desire to make the world a better and more just place.
For instance, for a time around the year 1937, she served as the President of the Richmond League of Women Voters. Also significantly, she was among a group of people who prepared and sponsored a three-quarter-page "advertorial" in the Honolulu Advertiser's February 2, 1966 edition showing support for ending the war in Vietnam.
