She faced this challenging journey by combining her lifelong practice of determination with her steadfast positive attitude. She was surrounded by the loving support of her son, Max Allen Hinds and daughter, Ruth Ann Nethery. Though she was "Thresa" to most people, the names she treasured most were "Dada" and "Grandma".

Although she knew only a few people in Fort Worth, she was quickly adopted by a dancing group that met regularly to dance and enjoy each other's company. She also traveled and especially enjoyed watching her grandchildren and their activities. She lived her life to the fullest and enriched the lives of all who knew her. She was a member of Arlington Heights United Methodist Church in Fort Worth. Thresa?loved spending time with family and friends, and often could be heard saying, "I have the best friends." and "I have the best family."?
