Ruth Paine, Who Opened Her Texas Home to Lee Harvey Oswald and Shooed Away Conspiracies, Dead at 92
Ruth Paine, who housed Lee Harvey Oswald before JFK's assassination, became a key witness and faced decades of scrutiny while maintaining her Quaker principles.
- Ruth Paine, a 31-year-old mother in Irving, Texas, who had hosted Lee Harvey Oswald's wife and children, died at age 92 in Santa Rosa, California, in 2023.
- Paine and Marina Oswald became friends earlier in 1963, and Paine offered a living arrangement that helped the struggling Oswald family and allowed her to improve her Russian.
- Oswald stayed at Paine's home the night before assassinating President John F. Kennedy on November 22, 1963, with a rifle unknowingly stored in Paine's garage.
- The Warren Commission determined that Oswald was the sole assassin, shooting from a sixth-floor window in the building where he worked as President Kennedy’s motorcade was concluding its route.
- Paine faced persistent false accusations but remained determined to tell the truth, firmly believing Oswald acted alone, and her former home opened as a museum in Irving in 2013.
