Her husband, Omar Dale, died in 1995. JoAnne was blessed later in life by her marriage to Don F Ritter in 1998 and moved with him to Arizona where she lived until after his death in 2001. She was thankful to gain two more children through their marriage, Mark Ritter/Dianna and Anita Riley and she loved them and their children and grandchildren and was so grateful for their love for her.

JoAnne spent subsequent years in Indiana, Ohio and Georgia until moving to Woodland Country Manor. The family is so thankful for the compassionate care she received there.
