As a young girl, Donnaleitta briefly lived in the Cheyenne community with her family. Before her school years, they moved to Reydon where she started school at Meridian and later Reydon where she graduated in 1951. Donnaleitta was later married to Alec LeGrand on February 20th, 1952. After their marriage, they made their home south of Skipout Lake on the family farm that Alec purchased from his father. Donnaleitta had intended to attend Draughons Business School in Oklahoma City, but Alec felt strongly about not wanting his wife to work outside the home. In 1957 they put in a grade A dairy that the family operated until 1991. Throughout Donnaleitta's life she was a member of the Church of Christ and made sure her kids attended with her. She was a strong supporter of the Reydon Home Demonstration Club, a 4-H Leader, a great cook, and was a class parent for all 3 of her children. Donnaleitta enjoyed being a Mary Kay consultant for approximately 20 years along with canning, gardening, and tending her flowers.
