Joan married the love of her life, Edward Aloysius Martin, Jr. at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Catholic Church on October 10, 1953, in Forest Hills, New York. Joan and Eddie built their first home in Seaford, New York, where they raised their three children, Edward, Denise and Karen. They lived there next door to life long friends, the Petersen family. The family moved to Boca Raton, Florida in 1973, after Edward retired from the Long Island Rail Road. After the passing of her beloved husband, Joan moved to Port St. Lucie, Florida in 1991, and built the home she would live in for the rest of her life.
