Her inmates affectionately knew her as "Mother Mac" and she presented each new ward with a Bible. In a Tucumcari newspaper column she was called, "a woman of indomitable strength and who best exemplifies the often abused term "Christian virtues." It added, "Mrs. McDonald has run her section of the penitentiary without racial, religious or political favoritism and the women under her charge...love her as a mother, do not regard her as a warden or keeper."
