Donna and her husband Clyde live in Hartwell and care for her mother. She is enjoying her position as secretary for Historic Hart County Community Theatre. Since retiring from 29 years as a middle school band director of Hart County Middle School in 2017, she has opened her own music studio from her home and she manages Sanders Mobile Home Park on Lake Hartwell. She also serves as pianist and vocalist for The Way Church worship team. 

She has lost count of how many musicals she has performed in either on stage or in the pit as an orchestra member. However, she has enjoyed getting to know the theater folks in Hartwell and Elberton in Beauty and the Beast, Will Rogers Follies, Oliver, Guys and Dolls, Shrek, and Celtic Christmas. However, recently she was in In The Country of Music at HCCT and loved performing in Thoroughly Modern Millie.  

On her bucket list is to visit all of the US National Parks.
