1. Yes, Alberta worked for Elvis and the Presleys at the Audubon Dr. Home and moved with them when they moved to Graceland. I met her there in May 1956.
2. He met Maggie when she was coming out of a car dealership and he was going in. She stayed with him until he passed away.
3. Nancy Rooks is still living and tells her stories often at Elvis events in Memphis.

According to the Elvis Gospel Fan Club: Alberta met Gladys Presley when they worked together at Britling Cafeteria, they became friends and Gladys later hired her when the Presley's moved into Audubon Drive. Alberta was a big help to Gladys, but Gladys liked to cook Elvis' meals herself. After Gladys was gone, Elvis would get Alberta (he called her Alberta V-05), to make one of his favourite meals of bacon, hash browns and black eyed peas. Alberta was the original maid and the only one to work both homes. It is believed that Alberta is the one who taught Mary Jenkins and other cooks how to fix Elvis’ favourite foods. Alberta was a sweet lady and Chelsea Brinkman says “What I love about this is that the Holmans and Presleys were the same humble, working class people. Gladys didn’t hire “help,” she hired her friend; one who I’m sure she grumbled with about long shifts, difficult customers, and heat. A good thing happened for Gladys, and she extended a hand to her trusted friend to join her.
