Description
Portrait of Jesse C. Wine, his daughter, Mary Sue, and his wife Naomi (Zirkle) Wine.
Jesse Wine was born in Forestville, son of the late Jacob David Wine and Kitty Sipe Huffman Wine.
Mr. Wine worked for the army during World War II at Fort Belvoir as manager of the tailor shop and dry cleaners. He entered the insurance business in 1945 and worked in Alexandria, Winchester, Mt. Jackson, and Woodstock, where he retired in 1975 from Interstate Life and Accident Insurance Co. after 30 years of service.
In September 1943, while he was still at Ft. Belvoir, he married Naomi Zirkle, daughter of Joseph H. Zirkle and Mary (Hupp) Zirkle of New Market. They had a daughter, Mary Sue (Wine) France. The couple enjoyed 72 years together before Mr. Wine's death in 2016. Both lived to be 100 years old.
He was a member of the Woodstock United Methodist Church where he was a treasurer for 15 years. For 70 years he was member of a Masonic Lodge including Mt. Jackson Masonic Lodge No. 103, Shenandoah Royal Arch Chapter #17 Edinburg, Alexandria Scottish Rite 32°, Acca Temple Shrine in Richmond, Blue Ridge Shrine Club, and the Shenandoah Valley Scottish Rite Club.
In 1966, Jesse Wine became a charter member of the Woodstock Rescue Squad, where he drove an ambulance for 10 years and served as treasurer for 16 years. He had a vineyard and was a professional grape pruner going to as many as 60 places per year from Harrisonburg to Winchester. He was also a cane maker and since 1932 has handcrafted more than 1500 Dogwood canes, which he has shared with his many friends and handicapped persons.
His wife, Naomi, was also active in the community. She loved people and enjoyed hosting them in her home. Strangers at church became life long friends after being invited to dinner numerous times. She was the supreme homemaker and worked long hours tending to her garden and preserving the food from it. Her talent in baking led to a career as a professional cake maker for over a decade. Even at the age of 98 she was baking bread to give to her neighbors.
