She is the very proud mom of her only son, Bryan Sutherland, who is pursuing Post-Doctoral work in Materials Science Engineering at the University of Delaware. She was over the moon to become a mother-in-law to her son’s beautiful bride Sarah who he married in an intimate garden wedding ceremony this summer.
Donna enjoys yoga, running, fishing and rock climbing, and most of all, spending time with her family and grammar/high school friends, who she both admires and adores. A Jersey Shore lover, she is an active member of Clean Ocean Action, a leading national and regional voice working to protect New Jersey/New York coastal waterways using science, law, research, education, and citizen action.
