Wilson was born JoAnn Geiger in Osage, Iowa to Harlan and Betty Geiger. She met Colin while attending Iowa State University in 1960 , and in 1962 the couple married and relocated to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan . While Colin was pursuing his political ambitions, JoAnn helped raise their three children and worked variously as a Teacher , Bookkeeper , and Interior Designer . The Thatcher marriage began to sour in the late 1970s , culminating in physical abuse and finally a divorce. Colin continued to abuse and harass JoAnn even after her marriage to Tony Wilson on 3 January 1981 .

Two years after an unsuccessful attempt on her life, JoAnn was found beaten and shot to death in the garage of her Regina home. After a lengthy police investigation, Thatcher was charged and convicted of the murder.
