She was well liked by her coworkers and remained close to several. She was a member of the Pleasantville Lioness Club and the Order of Eastern Star No. 378, where she was Past Worthy Matron. Thresia enjoyed card and board games. She particularly liked Words with Friends which she played with her sister-in-law, Beverly every day. She loved playing Quiddler and Skip Bo and Rummy King. She never worried about winning but did express a bit of joy at beating her younger brother, Don. Thresia passed away on Sunday, December 30, 2018 at the Mercy Medical Center, in Des Moines, at the age of 72. She was preceded in death by her parents. Those left to cherish Thresia’s memory include her brothers: Danny (wife Leslie) of Elgin, Texas; Dennis (wife Bonnie) of Des Moines and Don (wife Beverly) of Pella; nephews, Kyle (wife Susan) of Austin, Texas and Kade of Nashville and many other family members and friends.
