Donna was born November 7, 1957 in Lubbock, Texas to Billy B. and Jolene Jones. Donna moved to Abilene, Texas starting her 7th grade year and graduated from Abilene Cooper High School in 1976. She attended Cisco Jr. College in Cisco, Texas, where she obtained her license in Cosmetology. Donna was a member of the Cisco College Wrangler Belles and performed in the Macy’s Day Parade in New York.

Donna began her career at the Abilene Police Department in 1984 as a dispatcher, and then would become the first female Dispatch Manager at the APD in 1994. She then became Division Manager over Property and Records in 2007 until her retirement in 2017, after 35 years of service to the City of Abilene Police Department. After her retirement, she was hired back to the department to conduct background checks for APD new hires for police, 911 dispatchers, and the records division. Donna was committed to finding good individuals for those positions, as she cared deeply for the people of the APD and the Abilene community. She was still an active employee at the time of her death.

Donna was an active and committed member of Beta Sigma Phi Social Sorority for well over two decades. She was active in many community charities that were close to her heart, including the AISD Homeless Program, Hendrick Blood Center—she was in the 5-7 Gallons donation list, elections volunteer for the county, and the RSVP Program. Donna is remembered for being the first one there for volunteering and helping with projects and friends. Donna was loved by many and will be sorely missed.
