Grandma whose misfired text to teen led to Thanksgiving invite loses husband to coronavirus

"Thanksgiving dinner is at my house on November 24th at 3PM,” read the text. Hinton, then 17, asked who the message was from, and received the reply: “Your grandma.”The sender, Wanda, said the invitation stood,. Last year, Hinton and his girlfriend, Mikaela, invited Wanda and Lonnie to his family's house for Thanksgiving dinner.

Hinton wrote on Twitter early this month that Lonnie was in the hospital fighting coronavirus and pneumonia. He said Wanda was sick too, but Wanda later clarified that she had not been tested for coronavirus.On Wednesday, in announcing Lonnie's death, Hinton added that Wanda was not sick. NBC News reached out to Hinton and Wanda Dench on Thursday but did not immediately hear back. Kathy Knox Dench, who says she was married to one of Lonnie's brothers for 30 years, confirmed to NBC News that Lonnie has died, and said Wanda would share arrangements for Lonnie when she was ready.Lonnie and Wanda Dench had become so close with Hinton and Mikaela that they started having double dates outside of Thanksgiving.
