She is survived by her husband of 36 years Chuck MacDonald, of Bowie, MD; her children Mark MacDonald of St. Charles, MO, Tracy MacDonald of Bowie, MD, Christy MacDonald of Arlington, VA, and her granddaughter Maggie Rose MacDonald of St. Charles, MO. Mrs. MacDonald's  parents Bill and Virginia Johnson of New Martinsville, WV preceded her in death about 10 years ago.

Mrs. MacDonald was born July 6, 1949 in Morgantown, WV and graduated from high school in New Martinsville, WV. She decided to go back to college while she had three small children at home, graduating from California State University in San Bernardino in 1992 with a degree in theater arts.She earned her way onto the Dean's List while there.

For several years she assisted the drama programs at Parkway North High and Clayton Junior High in the St. Louis area. She designed and acquired costumes, supervised make up and assisted with staging of plays. She also coached drama students in Attleboro, MA. She enjoyed the challenge of helping students develop their acting skills and shine at the productions.

She also acted in the plays "Good News Scrooge," "Esther" and "Bethlehem Marketplace," all Bible-centered productions performed in Redlands and Yucaipa, California during her 20 years in Southern California. She loved using her acting skills as a means to showcase her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Mrs. MacDonald worked for Campus Crusade for Christ for 20 years and for the Parkway and Clayton School Districts in administrative roles.

After moving to Bowie in 2003 her warm personality enabled her to develop many friendships in exercise classes, Bible studies and in the neighborhood. Mrs. MacDonald enjoyed exercising and regularly marked her birthday with a one-mile swim.

She was a member of the Osti Association of Anne Arundel County and a regular attendee at Evangelical Presbyterian Church of Annapolis. Her favorite Bible passages included John 15 and the story of Rahab in Genesis.
