“We always called her Joi,” Charlotte Autry, Marilyn Joi Base’s childhood best friend, told Dateline. “She was, absolutely, a joy.”. Charlotte thinks fondly of the childhood she spent alongside Joi in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, just outside of Tulsa. She talked about the blissful, slow-paced lifestyle they led as young girls — running around the farmland behind their properties, playing with horses, and singing in church. “[Joi’s family] had a ditch in their backyard, and they had a swing on a rope — and we would swing over that ditch,” she said. “It was a blast.”
