On March 27, 1975, Donna married the love of her life Alphonso Williamson. While having no children of their own, over the course of their marriage, Donna and Al loved and cared for many children as if they were their own. Donna joined Gwynn's Chapel Baptist Church at an early age. She loved going to church and serving the Lord in any way she could. She was a faithful member to the church, serving in many capacities as the Church Secretary, President of the Ushers Ministry, as well as working with the Kitchen Committee, until her health declined.
