Jo Rene attended Cedar Draw School through the eighth grade and then Filer High School, where she met her future husband, Allen Lee. They were married Nov. 6, 1949. Their marriage was later sealed in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple.

Jo Rene assisted her husband in the television sales and service business in the 1950s.
