Nichols worked 15 years for the NY Telephone Co. as operating supervisor before retiring to Clearwater.

Nichols was an avid tennis player. Nichols was a member of St. Augustine of Canterbury Episcopal Church, Vero Beach.
Through her strong Christian belief, she did not fear death but looked forward to the day of being reunited with her dear husband of 47 years, Edward Nichols, who preceded her in death.
