Mary Ann was the third daughter born to William and Euphemia (Jackson) Braden. She married John R. Donnell in 1832 and gave birth to two sons, the younger of whom died in childhood.
The Donnells successfully farmed land in Clinton Twp., of Decatur Co., IN for many years. Mary Ann united with the Kingston Presbyterian Church and later transferred her membership to the church in Greensburg.
Following her husband's death, Mary Ann Donnell was a member of the household of her son, Luther. An article published in "The Greensburg Review" on Sep. 12, 1896 that reported on Mary Ann's visit to her brother, John Hall Braden, said of her: "Mrs. Donnell, who is in her 88th year, has not been in Greensburg for over ten years, and could hardly realize the vast growth and improvement that has been made in our city in that time."
The last years of her life were spent with son Luther's widow, Cornelia, in Greensburg. On her ninety-sixth birthday Mary Ann (Braden) Donnell was honored and officially recognized as Greensburg's oldest living resident.
