She was a member of the West Main Church of Christ in Lewisville. After marrying Ed Threadgill in 1936, they moved to the Oak Cliff region of Dallas and lived there until relocating back to Lewisville in 1955. Soon thereafter she became the Lewisville High School secretary. Her tenure spanned some 20 years. She retired in 1978.

Her favorite past time was spending Friday evenings with Ed and close neighbors playing Canasta and Dominos. In later years, this was replaced with yearly trips to The Taylor Ranch just north of Gunnison, Colorado for several weeks of cabin camping with seasonal regulars from Lewisville.
