She was born March 24, 1952, in Niagara Falls, NY. She was one of five children born to the late William and Shirley Adams. Her family moved to Auburn where she attended Auburn Schools. Donna was predeceased by her husband Pete Deyo in 1995.
Donna made a career working for the school cafeteria system at the age of 16. Donna started as a server and ended with her retirement as a food service director, 48 years later. Thirty-three of those years were spent at Auburn High School as the manager of the cafeteria. It was a job she truly loved.
