Thracia was born on April 4, 1979 in Decatur Il, the daughter of Lyndle and Beverly (Pope) Gharst.

Despite her many challenges from being involved in a car accident at age 15, Thracia had a zest for life and brought much joy to all those that had the privilege of knowing her, but the past several months she was growing weary and wanted to go be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Although our hearts are grieved, we are rejoicing that she is with her Savior, and that she has now received her physical healing and is at peace. We love you Thracia and will see you again!
