He was a Navy Serviceman in his early years and later a construction engineer and her mother was a homemaker as well as a produce clerk at Safeway. Due to the fact her father was in the Navy and often on a ship out of California her mother left her into the care of her grandmother Liola Jerger in Tyler, Texas in her early years.....after her father left the Navy the family moved back to Denver, Colorado. It was then her parents completed their family and added her sister Pamela Jean Ainsworth (Wanley), her (late) brother Mark Alan Ainsworth and her brother Kerry Edwin Ainsworth. In her junior year of high school Joan went out with some friends on Christmas Eve and was in a car accident on slipper snowy road and she broke her neck.

At 19 years old Joan married a Air Force Serviceman Duane Millard Torgerson on August 20, 1960 in Denver, Colorado. Their first baby Letitia Ann Torgerson (Mika) was born on November 16, 1963. Their second baby Teresa Sue Torgerson (Goss) was born on November 22, 1965. It was in 1968 Duane and Joan moved their little family to Colfax, Washington. Soon after that their third bouncing baby girl Dorlynna Leigh Torgerson (Gerard) was born on September 25,1970. Joan was a dedicated mother to her three girls and was also the secretary for the First Baptist Church in Colfax Washington. In 1976 Duane was relocated with his job to Ritzville Washington. Here Joan worked for a few years at the local bakery. But, Joan always wanted to further her education so in the early 80's she studied in Moses Lake Community Collage, graduating at the same time with her oldest daughter in 1982. As well as her soon to be son-in law Kevin Goss. She then went on to get her Certification as a CNA at the Ritzville Nursing Home. She worked several years here caring for the elderly until her earlier diagnosis with Multiple Sclerosis made it impossible to keep that job.
