He also was president of the Berry Alumni Association. Together, the couple was instrumental in the 1977 establishment of Berry’s open-classroom early learning center, which became Berry College Elementary School. Upon her retirement, McDonald was named associate professor of home economics emerita. She was recognized by the Charter School of Education and Human Sciences and the School of Education Alumni Chapter in 2004 for her “outstanding service to the profession of teaching.”
