==Early life==
McDonald was born January 2, 1937 and lived and grew up in Chicago. She went to school at the Convent of the Sacred Heart in Chicago and finished her secondary education at the Chicago Latin School. It was in these years that she gained a love for Latin, Greek, and the classics. In 1958, she graduated Magna cum Laude from Bryn Mawr College with a bachelor of arts degree in the classics and music. In 1960, she continued her education by getting a master’s degree from the University of Chicago and by earning a doctorate in 1975 from the University of California, Irvine.
She credits her love for learning from her father, Eugene Francis McDonald. He grew up in New York City and became the head of the family at age twelve when he had to drop out of school in order to support his family. After having gone deaf, he invented the Zenith hearing aid and created the Zenith Radio Corporation. When he died in 1958, he left Marianne a large fortune and a collection of gifts that furthered her interest in Ireland and the desire to give generously.〔
