Donna was raised in the Sayre, Oklahoma community. She attended Sayre Public Schools, graduating in 1964. She was a barrel racer during her youth and loved spending time with her father, who trained race horses. She was a lifelong lover of horses because of those early experiences.

She was a special education teacher. She also taught at the Oklahoma State Reformatory in Granite, Oklahoma.

She settled in Sayre and met the love of her life, Tucker Kitchens. They were married in Wheeler, Texas, on March 10, 1989. Together, they made their home in Sayre, where they were active in the community. In the early 2000s, they moved to Guthrie, Oklahoma, to be closer to family.
