- But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31
Carol Jean Hines, 63, of Jonesville, VA, went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, peacefully on Sunday morning, August 30, 2015 at Holston Valley Medical Center after a very long and courageous battle with ovarian cancer.
Carol was saved and baptized at the age of 13. She was a member of Faith Baptist Church in Jonesville where she attended faithfully until her health no longer permitted her to go.
Carol was a graduate of Jonesville High School class of 1969, Lincoln Memorial University class of 1973 and obtained her master’s degree in elementary education from Union College in 1982.
Miss Hines retired from the Lee County Public School System after 33 years of service. She served as a first grade teacher at Jonesville and Flatwoods Elementary Schools. She loved her job dearly and always thought that all children should have a “good start” to their education.
Carol was a very loving person having dedicated her whole life to teaching and serving as a caregiver to her parents who preceded her in death.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Jean Mae Hines and Charles Richard Hines, her maternal and paternal grandparents, several aunts, uncles and cousins.
Carol is survived by her sister and caregiver, Wanda Hines; brother, Darrell Hines (Jeanie); sister, Judy Earley (Ron), all of Jonesville; nephews, Ryan Hines of Roanoke, VA, Mason Hines (Chelsey) of Jonesville and Brennan Earley of Jackson, TN; a very special great-niece, Braelyn, and four special great-nephews, Clayton, Conner, Camron and Collin, all of Jonesville; special cousin, Fern Guenther of New Paris, OH; special friend for many years, Nina Moore of Jonesville; a loving and caring church family, other family members and friends.
The family will receive friends from 12 until 2:00 p.m. Thursday, September 3, at Faith Baptist Church in Jonesville. The funeral service will follow at 2:00 p.m. with Pastor Mickey Gibson and Bro. Daris Horne officiating. Entombment will follow at Lee Memorial Gardens in Woodway. Pallbearers will be family and friends.
The family wishes to extend their heartfelt thanks to Dr. Patrick Molony and staff and Dr. Paul Kramer and staff for the excellent care shown to Carol during her sickness.
