There are 3 marriages listed for a Joyce E Bensley :

To James V SMEETH in 1941 , as you mention.
To Victor W G SEWREY in 1949 in Aldershot
To Anthony G W CARR in 1966 in Surrey

If she married in 1966 in the UK I don't think you'll be able to find an emigration record.

US Public Record Index places Joyce E CARR born 14 Aug 1924  at 12 Whittier Rd Wakefield MS in 1985. Anthony G CARR born 4 Sep 1931 is listed at the same address . He appears to have died in 2012 :

That record gives a place of last residence, rather than a place of death.

The Massachusetts death index has Joyce Carr b. 15 Aug. 1924 and died 24 Feb 2003 in Melrose.  Spouse was Anthony Carr.

Thanks Shelly I misread it - my mind was on my imminent dentist appointment.  :'(
