In 1967, Alysone married Robert (Bob) Newton White Jr. in San Antonio; and in 1973 they relocated to Englewood Ohio. After the birth of their two daughters Nicole Denise and Heather Joyce, the family moved to Vandalia, Ohio in 1976. Alysone retired from the Vandalia-Butler School District after many years there of teaching math and science. Bob and Alysone ultimately moved to their residence at Lake Lakengren in Eaton, Ohio where they continued to enjoy their 42-year span of "lake life" until his death in July, 2009.
Alysone loved music. In addition to playing numerous instruments, she possessed a beautiful singing voice.

Alysone also sang for many years with the Dayton Philharmonic Chorus as a mezzo soprano and was the Choir Director at Trinity Episcopal Church in Troy, Ohio. Bob and Alysone were members of the First Presbyterian Church in Eaton, where they both sang in the church choir and the Eaton Community Chorus.
After retirement, Alysone was active in the Eaton area with the Alpha Garden Club, and the Royal Red Hatters.

Alysone married Robert G. Graham of Indianapolis, Indiana, in October 2015. They traveled extensively throughout Europe, Asia and the United States until her health prevented further adventures.
