Joyce Quitevis was very active in the sport at the local, regional and National level. 

Some of the things that come to mind was her participation in all three events.  She placed numerous times in many tournaments.  She won 2nd place Jumping at the Nationals.  She was an avid show skier, and was a member of one of the first all-female pyramids; even performed in on New Years Day on the river.

Joyce was a Senior Judge, Senior Scorer, and officiated at more tournaments that one can count.  In the words of Nito, she was also a darn good driver...  She was an appointed judge at the Regional's and Nationals, and eventually Chief Judge at the Nationals.  She promoted the FCA when it was still in it's infancy with the AWSA.  She was my "office manager" when ex-husband Nito Quitevis was Regional Director and National Director.  She was also a recipient of the Tommy Dorwin Award at the Regional's for Sportsmanship.

Joyce was every bit as involved behind the scenes as any of those involved with the AWSA.  She learned the rule book, and how to apply it from the Ed Buhr.

• Joyce and Nito were the first huband and wife team to win the Tommy Dorwin Sportsmanship Award
• Joyce was a 1st Degree Blackbelt
• She was also an experienced Marathon Participant
• She was an ordained minister
