Ila was born in Albany, Georgia on April 20, 1936, to Orlando Wren Holzendorf and Selena Jackson (Jackie) Mims Holzendorf.
She graduated from Albany High School in 1954 and from the dental school of the University of Alabama in 1956.
She was a dental hygienist in Albany GA, Stillwater OK, Jacksonville FL, St. Augustine FL, Gainesville FL, and other nearby cities before retiring in 1989. While in Jacksonville, she served as a prayer counselor at Christian Healing Ministries.
She was a Navy wife for 44 years and lived in CA twice, VA, OK, GA, FL, and Naples, Italy before settling in Euless TX in 2004 to be near her granddaughters. She joined Euless First United Methodist Church that year and met Gerald Gordon Maloney (Jerry) whom she married in 2006. She was active in the United Methodist Women, and a member of the Together Class and the Unity Class.
Her fondest activities were the charities she supported, and there were many. She had a passion for anyone in need and she especially supported children’s, veterans, and animal causes. As much as her causes, she also loved to read.
Ila was preceded in death by her parents and sister Charlotte Holzendorf Bullock.
