Beloved Ruth Lorraine (Jones) Wines was born January 30, 1921, in Chowchilla, Calif., to John Thomas Jones and Maria Christina (Schwabenland) Jones, the youngest among their five daughters and two sons. When a child she was taught the marvelous truth of salvation through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and believed His word as quoted on her Easter 1928 Sunday school placard: I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (Jn 11:25). As a young adult she participated in Christian Endeavor activities, graduated from Caruthers High School in 1938, attended two years at Fresno State College and then studied at Fresno Business College.
