She was preceded in death by her brother, Chris; and grandparents, Salvador and Marie Vicari, and Guy and Irene Falgout Sr. A proud New Orleans native, Donna graduated from O.P. Walker High School and earned a bachelor's from The University of New Orleans. She was a highly devoted special education and deaf education teacher adored by her students.
