She then travelled by ship to London, U.K. with girlfriends where she was again employed as an air hostess traveling to Europe, Africa and the far east. In 1960, she travelled alone to Canada as a tourist and ultimately met her husband Gordon in Toronto where they were married in 1963. Joan pursued a marketing career until retirement in 1980. As a couple, they both had an ardent interest in the Toronto Symphony concerts and the theatre at Stratford, Ontario, Niagara-on-the Lake, New York and London, U.K. They continued to travel together to Australia, the far east and Europe until illness curtailed their activities.
