Donna Graves

Donna was born and raised in Ohio and spent 15 years living in Wheeling, West Virginia, where her children still reside. She is now remarried to her husband, Steve, and together they have lived in Kentucky, Texas, and New Mexico before returning to West Virginia. Donna and Steve share a large, blended family of 10 adult children and 20 grandchildren—with one more on the way. They live in Kenna, WV, with their dog, Miss Bea. An avid traveler, Donna has just five states left to visit before completing her map of the United States.

Donna earned her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Wheeling Jesuit University. She is an active member of the Daughters of the American Revolution and dedicates her time to volunteering with Sleep in Heavenly Peace, building beds for children in need. Her professional experience spans work with both adults and children in mental and physical health settings, across nonprofit and for-profit organizations, in roles including Care Coordinator, Health Educator, and Executive Director.
