Although Lavolia is being recognized as a Star of Yesteryear, she is still active, bowling in the Royalettes Classic League and carrying an average of 176. 

High averages for ladies were rare when Lavolia carried a 196 during the 1971-72 season. The same year, she rolled a high series of 723. Her highest game was 290 in 1974-75. She also had a 289 during the 1960-61 season. 

Her first State title was won in 1966. With her partner, Mary Kilgore, they won the Doubles with 1226. She was a member of the Motown Records Team when they won the Championship in 1971, 1972 and again in 1978 with a high score of 3147. On a roll, she won the doubles, again with Mary Kilgore, in 1978 with a score of 1242.
