Meet Mike McDaniel’s mother Donna McDaniel

Donna McDaniel is known to be the mother of Mike McDaniel the American football coach. She seems to be in her 60s and was brought up on a farm in eastern Colorado, which means she holds an American nationality and belongs to the white ethnic race.

Donna was once loved and cherished by her family so much, but the moment she fell in love with her late husband who happens to be an African-American, her relatives stopped communicating with her because she wed a person of different ethnicity. She lost her husband when she was in her 20s with whom she had a son.

Bringing up her son as a single mother, she began working as a credit consultant at Monfort Beef in Greeley. She subsequently worked for a company that delivered commodities, selling meat. She intended to keep her son occupied.

Her son being the only child,  Donna never gave up on him and always wished the best for him. As a result, Mike developed into a responsible, loving adult who excelled in football coaching. The American coach is still unfamiliar with most of his mother’s family members and he was 4 years when his father passed away.
