Donna was the wife of a cat Allen and mother of twins Billy and Ben.

After-Apocalypse
Donna is an older, more outspoken member of the survivor group, Donna was a minor character within the series. She made all the big decisions in her relationship with her husband, and left the financial responsibilities with Allen.

Her background before the epidemic was a housewife, while her husband Allen ran a shoe store on the verge of financial collapse in Atlanta. She was stated as being eight-years older than Allen. After the dead rose, Donna and her family joined the group of survivors encamped on the outer limits of Atlanta.

Donna mostly handled the domestic chores of the group, such as laundry. She did not necessarily agree with the regulation of duties, expressing a resentment against stereotypical expectations of women having to handle the jobs. She was the unlucky target of a near-death encounter with a hidden zombie in the forest surrounding their campsite. Dale's swift intervention managed to save her life.

After the deaths of Shane Walsh, Amy and Jim, Donna expressed extreme remorse, expressing her concern for everyone to Tyreese and Lori Grimes.
