Donna was born to parents Leonard and Margaret Mullaley on July 24, 1934 in Segola, MI. She spent her youth growing up on the family farm with her older sister and younger brother.
In her early teens her family moved to Milwaukee, WI where she attended Pulaski High School. After graduating she married her high school sweetheart and started a family.

In 2015, she moved to Middletown, RI to be closer to her son and his family.
