Jennie Lee Hines, 83, of Seguin, Texas, passed away peacefully on December 17, 2025. Jennie was born on November 10, 1942, in San Antonio, Texas to Adeline (Enck) and Charles Elam Scull, Jr.

A graduate of Seguin High School, Jennie attended College at the University of Texas in Austin and obtained her Master's Degree from the University of Texas in San Antonio. Jennie's life passion was education, and she devoted herself to children in Seguin ISD for 32 years where she served as a principal at Lizzie M. Burgess, Jefferson Elementary, Juan Seguin, and Ball Early Childhood Center. Her greatest joy was her time spent at Ball Early Childhood Center where she could never be found in her office because she was constantly in the classroom, in the library, reading to children, loving on children in the cafeteria, or working the car line.

Jennie loved reading and you could often find her at the family ranch, tucked in her favorite chair in front of the fireplace, with a good book on her lap. An adventurer at heart, Jennie also loved the outdoors and hunted and fished on the family ranch alongside her husband. A Sunday drive to look at the Texas wildflowers would fill her heart with joy and put the biggest smile on her face.

Jennie was preceded in death by her mother, Adeline Scull, her father, Charles Elam Scull, Jr., her father-in-law Robert R. Hines, and her mother-in-law Rosa Lee Hines.

Survivors include her loving and devoted husband, Robert Hines, their daughter Heather and her husband Jerry, her son Andy Seale, her daughter, Laurie Seale, her grandson, Connor Wright, her brother Elam Scull and wife Kay, her sister, Alice Kirkendall and husband, W.C. "Bud" Kirkendall,  her sister DeDe Frets and husband Dr. Robert Frets, and numerous nieces, nephews, other family members and a host of friends.

A memorial visitation will be held on Monday, December 22, 2025, from 12 noon to 2 p.m. at Tres Hewell Mortuary Chapel.  A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, December 23, 2025, at 10 a.m. at Tres Hewell Mortuary Chapel with the Reverend Herman Cramer officiating.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Ball Early Childhood Center in Seguin, Texas.
