Bass. For over 25 years she served as director of music for churches in Oklahoma, Dallas/Fort Worth, Kansas City and Little Rock, Arkansas.
Donna composed her first song at age 4, and was first published at age 13.

Mrs. Douglas is an accomplished pianist, soloist and freelance composer with over 100 compositions in print.
