During her 28 years on the field, she was a professor and administrator in addition to running the missionary home in Manila. Vine received a Master of Divinity and a Master of Religious Education from Nazarene Theological Seminary during her time in the Philippines.

Following her return from the mission field, Vine  was administrator of the Sun Valley Indian School in Arizona. 

She is survived by her foster daughter, Esther.
