Judith Elaine Bok passed away on Tuesday, October 15, 2019 after an extended illness. Judy was born on December 7, 1946 in Worcester, Massachusetts to Robert E. Magill and Elsie King Magill. For the past 48 years she and her husband of 51 years, David Bok, made their home in south Florida, the past 30 in Boca Raton, Florida.
Judy had a passion for nursing. She graduated from Broward Community College in 1984 as a registered nurse and later earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Florida International University. She worked for many years as a labor and delivery nurse at Broward General Medical Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida and after retirement worked part time as an RN at the N.E. Focal Point Alzheimer’s Day Care Center in Deerfield Beach, Florida. Any patient under Judy’s care experienced her superior nursing skills and the care and compassion she showed to each and every person.
Judy loved her family, get-togethers with family and friends, and music, particularly playing piano and organ. For many years she played for children’s choirs at several churches and schools. From the time she was a kid she loved traveling to her family’s annual Thanksgiving celebration to be with all her aunts, uncles and cousins. Many will remember her stories and contagious laughter. Hosting a family gathering every Christmas Eve was also a highlight.
Judy is survived by her husband David Bok; son Brian Bok, his wife Susan and grandchildren Ryan, Justin and Brandon of Cumming, GA; daughter Andrea Poague, her husband James and grandchildren Kayla and James of Lake Worth, FL; brother Thomas Magill and his wife Joan of Boynton Beach, FL; sister Sandra Magill of Greenfield, MA; and sister Marilyn Blanchard and her husband Peter of Shrewsbury, MA; as well as many nieces and nephews.
