Donna was born on Dec. 26, 1938 in Ferndale, Michigan to the late Robert W. Hausfeld and Marie Christie Hausfeld. She grew up enjoying her family and friends in her close-knit neighborhood.

From her youth, Donna was active in her church both socially and through service, participating in various bible studies and ministry organizations as well as the church choir. She loved teaching little ones and found her calling in founding and managing the New Beginnings program at St. James the Greater for many years.
