Phyllis Geraldine Arnett Vines, 88, of Jasper, went to be with our Lord on Thursday, Feb. 25, 2016.
Vines was born in Greene County, Pa., on May 19, 1927. She was the only surviving child of Audrey Job Arnett and Lavina Ruth Rymer. Her childhood years were spent in Mannington, West Va. She married her husband of 62 years, John M. Vines of Walker County, on Feb. 18, 1954, in Hyattsville, Md. After their marriage, they moved to Woodbridge, Va., where most of her adult years were spent. She worked at Fort Belvoir, Va. There she worked on projects in the Engineer Research and Development Laboratory for the U.S. Army, including water treatment devices, woodland camouflage patterns, and night vision systems. She was also very active in the American Legion Auxiliary in the state of Virginia where she held numerous offices, including president from 1976 to 1977. She was a loving mother to two boys, even being their Cub Scout leader for several years. After her retirement, she took up the hobby of genealogy. In fact, she was very technology savvy for her age and bought the very first portable computer called the Osborne One in the early 1980s to aid in her genealogy research. In the mid 1980s she and John moved to Jasper. Due to her love of reading, all of her research has been donated to the genealogy room in the Jasper Public library.
