She was the fourth child in a family of thirteen and the eldest daughter. In addition to a formal education, Dina also learned English, piano, horseback riding, and driving, which was revolutionary for Chinese women of the time.Dina met her future husband, Hsu Ning, through her brother who was attending the same university. When World War II broke out with Japan, Ning decided to leave the university and joined the air force to serve and protect his country. Ning was hesitant to marry Dina at the time because of the danger in the air force and possibility of leaving her a widow. After a long nine years and a Japanese surrender, they were finally married in 1945.After moving to Taiwan in 1949, they had two daughters, Peggy and Vicki. In Taiwan, Dina worked for the US Thirteenth Air Force for thirty years before immigrating to the United States in 1978. After moving to California, Dina worked as an executive secretary in the Bay area . After retirement, Dina lived out her days happily at the Beresford senior citizen home where she remained active in the community and made many new friends thanks to her outgoing nature and generosity.On August 2nd 2011, Dina checked herself into O'Connor Hospital in Santa Clara for an angioplasty. After a complication in the initial procedure, Dina suffered a heart attack and had to undergo a second operation. Unfortunately, Dina was unable to recover and passed away the morning of August 4th, 2011, surrounded by her loving daughters and grandchildren.
