After graduation, she became an assistant athletic director and at various times coached the volleyball, tennis and softball teams. After leaving her post in the Marshall athletic department, Holmes continued to serve the university in a variety of positions, including with the Marshall Alumni Association and the Marshall University School of Medicine, and as a member of and then chairperson of the Marshall Athletic Hall of Fame Committee.
