On June 17, 1961 she married Curtis Holt and they began their 64 year journey. She and Curtis raised their two girls, Pam and Vickie in Tulsa, where they attended Faith and Southeast Baptist churches and Velma began her career in the oil and gas industry. She worked as an accountant and a gas measurement technician for Cities Service and retired from Occidental Oil.
