In 2006, she married Roy Hollifield. Wilma worked as a school cook, but when her time allowed, she loved to play cards and games with her family members and friends and she loved to travel. She had traveled to many exciting places, such as Europe, England, The Holy Land, and extensively throughout the United States.
