The funeral service for Marina Rae Groseclose Jines will be 10:00AM Monday, December 21, 2015 in Emmanuel Baptist Church. Rev. Wade Burleson will officiate. A private family burial will follow in Fairview Cemetery under the direction of Henninger-Hinson Funeral Home.
Marina Rae Groseclose Jines was born on December 14, 1946 in Oklahoma City to Walt and Florence Groseclose who lovingly adopted her the day she was born. She grew up in Warner, Ok with her older brother, Kenneth, and developed her humor from her father and her sweetness and love for Jesus from her mother. She always wanted to be a wife and mother and in July 1968 she married Bill Jines who adoringly loved her all his days. Always dreaming of being a mother, she instantly became one to Bill’s two wonderful daughters from his first marriage. Linda Jines Masteller was in college at the time and Sherry Jines LaMunyon was in her late teens and she loved them dearly throughout her whole life. In 1969 she gave birth to Tim and in 1970 to her son, Tracey. Marina was delighted to be a stay at home mom raising her boys and involved herself in playing and being silly all day long. She made so many wonderful friends in Oklahoma City at Northwest Baptist Church and each one was dear and precious to her.
In 1979 the family moved to Fairview, Ok where Marina became the secretary at First Baptist Church. Here many people saw in her a love for Jesus, her husband, her kids, and her friends. She delighted so many people with her wonderful cooking and baking and made every other youth group at Falls Creek jealous for many years as she cooked fantastic and wonderful meals with her close friends. There was never a person Marina met or knew in which she didn’t attempt to love on them and help them somehow. She was kind, generous, and a mom to so many.
When Bill retired in 1998 they moved to Enid and operated a small used car lot for a short time and then a cell phone store in the mall for the next several years. Always the friend to everyone she continued to bless as many people as she could through their small business and her Sunday School class at Emmanuel Baptist Church. They hosted the class in their home for many years and each week she vigorously cleaned her house and baked for her friends. After they closed their cell phone store, she worked at Vance Air Force base and made many more friends whom she mothered and nurtured. During these retirement years she was also united with her biological siblings who she came to adore and treasure.
As a mother and grandmother, there could be no equal. She often commented that she loved her kids “too much” but that love was displayed in humor, silly faces, games of hide and go seek in the dark, and lots of advice and wisdom (whether it was wanted or not) . As a grandmother she spoiled and loved her six grandchildren from Tim and Tracey and her six grandchildren from Linda and Sherry. She equally loved each of her daughter and son-in-laws and treated them as if they were her own children.
On December 16, 2015 Marina was reunited with her husband, Bill, and her Savior, Jesus Christ. After a long battle with several physical ailments stemming from her diabetes and pneumonia her body released her to go home. Her two sons and her daughter-in-law were with her and she is now at peace and renewed. She leaves behind a great legacy of “sweetness”, love, laughter, and good cooking. She dearly loved Bill, her children, her daughter and son-in-laws, grandchildren, great grandchildren, and her siblings. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord and this was her final wish. May each person who knew her take comfort and joy in knowing she now has complete joy in the Presence of Jesus. To honor Marina’s desire to be simple and practical, the family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to OU Medical Research Foundation earmarked for diabetes research.

ENID — Funeral for Bill Gene Jines will be 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 30, 2013, at Emmanuel Baptist Church. The Rev. Wade Burleson will officate. A private family committal will follow in Fairview Cemetery, under the direction of Henninger-Hinson Funeral Home.
Bill Gene Jines was born Sept. 9, 1928, near Poplar Bluff, Mo., and lived a full life loving Jesus and his family until his homegoing on Friday, April 26, 2013. He was born the 18th child in his family. He started working at age 16 selling cars and did this primarily for the next 55 years. Along the way, he owned a diner, insurance agency, car lots, was an auctioneer and many other things, as well as being a pastor over a dozen years. The greatest love of his life was Jesus Christ. He was saved at a revival in his early 20s, and this event changed his life. He immediately began preaching and led his wife, two daughters, his mom and dad, his brothers and their wives, and countless number of others to saving faith in Christ. Anyone he met, he took the opportunity to talk to them about the Lord. He pastored three small churches around Poplar Bluff before moving to Bolivar to attend college. He graduated from Southwest Baptist College while pastoring a church in Waubeleau, Mo. He eventually moved to Springfield, Mo., and pastored a church there for years until he began a career as an insurance agent. He was an insurance agent in Springfield, Tulsa and Oklahoma City before getting back into car sales and eventually working as the sales manager at Jensen’s in Fairview for nearly 20 years. Along the way, he continued to teach Sunday school, preach, and serve as an interim pastor. He always continued to share his faith in the Lord with anyone he met, and now he is with his greatest love, Jesus Christ.
He was married to Juanita Williams and had two precious daughters, Linda Jines Masteller and Sherry Jines LaMunyon.
In 1968, he married his wife of nearly 45 years, Marina Groseclose Jines and had two sons, Tim and Tracey Jines.
In life he enjoyed every new kind of gadget or electronics, bicycles, motorcycles, CB radios, computers, or cellphones. He was quick with his wit and had tons of one-liners that kept his family in stitches or caused strange looks on their faces. He loved to have a good time and wanted everyone around him to laugh. He played guitar and sang old country western and gospel songs. He was also a man of integrity, who never compromised on his ideals. He stood up for what was right and didn’t care about what others would say about him. His family loved him and he provided for them whatever they needed or would travel to wherever they were to help.
He has been reunited in Heaven with his parents and his siblings.
He will see again those he left behind: his wife, Marina of Enid; daugthters, Linda Mastellar and husband Rod of Shreveport, La., and Sherry LaMunyon and husband Dana of Enid; sons, Tim Jines and wife Becki of Enid, and Tracey Jines and wife Cynthia of Oklahoma City; 14 precious grandchildren; and 11 great-grandchildren, of whom he was most proud.
He also had many dear friends who loved and enjoyed him. In his life, and now in his death, he would want everyone know for sure where they will be for eternity. Jesus said, “I am the way the truth and life, no one comes to the Father except through me.” Bill would want you to trust Jesus and give your life to Him.
