Judi passed away unexpectedly on May 17, 2014. She was born on July 1, 1943 to Commander Frank Screws and Edna Bazemore Screws.

She was a proud Navy brat, who was fortunate to have lived in several different states, of which Hawaii was her favorite.

Judi graduated from Oak Harbor High and attended Western Washington University. She then moved to Seattle, where she began her favorite job as secretary and head of camp-development fundraising for the Chief Seattle Council of the Boy Scouts of America.

During a summer camp visit at Camp Omache, she met the love of her life, Eagle Scout and aquatics director, James “Jim” A. Joki. They were married in 1965 and spent their honeymoon driving to Texas in their 1965 Ford Mustang, where Jim began his job working for NASA to put the man on the moon.

While in Texas, they had their three children, James, Jennifer and Jacqueline.

In 1975 Judi and her family moved to Kansas. There Jim completed medical school and residency. In 1979, the family returned to Seattle. Judi was then able to fulfill her dream of returning to college to study geology and participate in geological digs.

Judi was happiest with a house full of kids. It didn’t matter if they were her own, familys’, friends’ or neighbors’. She loved being with family, and her grandchildren were a special joy to her. She also treasured time spent traveling and camping with her husband in their RV.

Judi was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Trojan; and in-laws, Ole and Beryl Joki. She is survived by her loving husband, James A. Joki; children, James Massond Joki, his daughter Brittany, and her husband, Spencer; Jennifer Christine Joki and her sons, Declan and Nolan and their father, Christopher Scott; Jacqueline Rene Daane and her husband, Scott and their children, Jacob, Victoria, and Sebastian; her sisters and their husbands, Valera and Sandy Wilson and India and Jim Manwaring; and her sister-in-law and husband, Judy and Alan Hutchison. She also leaves many nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws, “outlaws” and friends, as well as extended family in Georgia.

A memorial will be held noon, Saturday, May 24, at First Lutheran Church of Richmond Beach, 18354 8th Ave. N.W., Shoreline, WA 98177.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Judi’s favorite charity, St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital, 262 Danny Thomas Place, Memphis, TN 38105.
