 * More possible sources:
 * she appears to be mentioned in books by Julie Lyonn Lieberman
 * this bio might contain additional cues
 * but the Google search sort of peters out after a couple of pages and other MacDonalds, Bettys and violinists start flowing in. Given the time of her career when she was most active, you may need to get to print newspaper archives for reviews.
 * WP is purposely not a memorial site, but MacDonald's body of work looks like it might pass the WP:NMUSIC standard; it just needs some more documentation.  — jmcgnh (talk) (contribs) 08:23, 23 September 2018 (UTC)
