“NTA while the joke wasnt in the best taste she is taking it WAYY out of proportion. You even apologized. I get the feeling she was either cheated on or had something like that happen to her for her to react this poorly. Don’t engage with her any more, stop antagonizing her just to uphold your moral hugh ground. If she keeps asking you those questions just respond with “I’m no longer going to engage in conversation with you at work unless it is work related. You are now harassing me and honestly it needs to stop. If you continue I will report you to HR (or your boss) for creating a hostile work environment. I have apologized for the initial comment I made and I’m apologizing now for antagonizing you, but again, I will no longer engage conversations with you if you cannot be an civil.”
