Latrina was born and raised in Little Rock, Arkansas, and attended school in the Little Rock School District throughout her educational career. She graduated from Central High School.

At that time, she became a stay-at-home mom, and attended to her love, her children. She loved to read, write, and to do karaoke. She had a great love for game shows, especially Jeopardy, Wheel Fortune, and Family Feud. She was very smart and could answer the questions before the contestants. It was on her bucket list to be on Jeopardy.

Latrina met the love of her life, Donald Wilson, in 1997. They were married on September 7, 1998. They recently celebrated 27 years of marriage.
