After Donnealia graduated from Ozark High School in 1973, she began her working career at Fisher Steak House. Then later she became employed with Fasco Industries.

Great Aunt Donnie also loved her great nieces and nephews, Tiffany, Jessica, David, Austyn, Bryce, Bryanne, Macey, Elliana, Delaney, Marla, Harrison, Kadence, Kenzlee, Averly, Maddy, and Haven.
