All 228 people aboard were killed after the plane crashed into the Atlantic four hours into its flight to Paris.
The couple took another flight to Europe the next day and were driving to their home in Italy's Bolzano-Bozen province.
Ganthaler died when their car veered across a road in Kufstein, Austria, and swerved into an oncoming truck.
Her husband was seriously injured.
