In 1953 She married Scott Alexander Heath. After his death in 1974, she married G. Frederick Roll. Barbara Honeyman Heath Roll was a leading authority on somatotyping (the study of human physical types in relation to culture and society) challenging the work of her former mentor, anthropologist William Sheldon. In 1958, Margaret Mead asked Roll to conduct a somatype study of the Pere villagers to compliment Mead's own longitudinal study of social change on the Manus Island. Roll's collaboration with Mead resulted in 16 visits to Pere village over the next 30 years. Roll died in 1998 in Carmel, California.
