She was born on November 30, 1923, on a farm in Monroe County, Iowa. Leta was the oldest daughter of Raymond and Ferne (King) Agan. At the age of four, she moved with her family to a farm in Marion County, Iowa and spent the rest of her life in the Columbia/Knoxville area. Leta completed her elementary education at Elm Grove School. Due to health problems, she was unable to go on to high school until five years later. She then graduated in three years with the Knoxville Class of 1946. The Superintendent told Leta it would take her four years to complete the requirements for graduation. She was very proud of her ability to prove him wrong and continued to share the importance of education with her children. After graduation she worked as a book keeper at Gambles. On January 3, 1948, she married her long time friend Robert Lee Nichols. They spent over 60 years on the farm and were privileged to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary prior to his death on July 13, 2008.
