Born April 24, 1947 in Everett, Washington passed away peacefully in her sleep on February 6, 2019 after a long fought battle with pulmonary fibrosis.
Beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother and Mimi. She was predeceased by her father Earle V. Gavaza and her son Todd Earle Loftin. Survived by her husband of 52 years Bob; daughter Jenni; son Scott (Charmaine); and son Nathan (Amber); mother Ruth; sister Arlyne (Tracy); and brother Ken (Sue); grandchildren Alyssa, Jonny, Madison, Jenna, Benjamin, and Ryan.
Judi was loved by so many. She blessed others with her musical abilities and served many church congregations as pianist or organist. She was dedicated to her church and previously worked as a personal secretary to Tim LaHaye. She had an ability to entertain, and could give anyone who entered her home, an appreciation for all things pink and crystal. She was an incredible hostess and graciously opened her home to many throughout the years. She had an infectious laugh, and contagious smile.
Most importantly, she pursued and loved Christ with all of her heart. She was always quick to give sound, godly advice whenever requested. We were all so blessed to have such an amazing daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend. We all rejoice in the fact that she’s resting safely in the arms of Jesus. This is certainly not goodbye, but rather see you later. We love you Mimi.
