At age 15 they moved to Glenridge in Prince Georges County, Maryland. Donna graduated from DuVal High School in 1969. The same year Donna would elope with Jim Brown to Warren County, North Carolina.

They returned to Prince Georges County, Maryland in 1971 where they lived for 10 years before children. In 1981, she became a mother, which would come to be her greatest accomplishment, and that her career would have to wait. Jim and Donna moved to Huntingtown, MD in 1987 to raise their 3 daughters. She re-entered the workforce years later as a waitress at Rod ’N’ Reel, became a book keeper for a private firm, was a tax preparer for H&R Block, and retired from the Calvert County Board of Education in 2013 as Head Payroll Clerk.
