They made their home in Harrison until 1958 when they moved to Berryville where Mr. McDonald was local manager of AP&L. From there they moved to Washington State and later to California where they lived until 1967 then they came to Springdale where they owned and operated the "Y" Grocery. Mr. McDonald suffered a stroke in 1978 and passed away. They were married for 40 years. In August 1993 she married Larry Armstrong who passed away in 2001.
