Joe Rantz’s beloved girlfriend, and later his wife, Joyce Simdars is a lovely, kind woman and, like Joe, highly intelligent and ambitious. Joyce comes from a devoutly Christian family, in which there seems to be little overt affection. Partly as a result, she’s drawn to Joe’s warm, loving personality. Joyce takes a series of difficult jobs to pay her way through the University of Washington; shortly after Joe wins a gold medal at the Olympics, she marries him, and they stay together for the rest of her life.
