She attended Lawrence Public Schools and graduated from the University of Kansas.
She taught in the Kansas City, Missouri, Public Schools and retired from the Lawrence Public Schools, where she taught for 23 years as an elementary teacher and then served as an elementary school librarian.
She enjoyed traveling both in the U.S. and abroad. Survivors include her sons Ronald and Richard, three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. Memorial donations may be made to the Douglas County Visiting Nurses sent in care of Rumsey-Yost Funeral Home. Private burial.
Great memories as Mrs. Pine hosted Richard and his teenage friends displaying an astonishing amount of patience (mainly for Richard) for many hours, furnishing copious amounts of popcorn, and white rice as we indulged ourselves in leisure, playing hearts, chess, and watching “Professional Wrestling”. She lived a long and fruitful life, as did my Mother.
We are so sad to know that we don’t have my dad and your mother in our lives any more. Their friendship meant so much to them and to us.
