Nichols returned to Venezuela every summer until her senior year, when her parents moved to Covington and stayed.

A graduate of Southeastern Louisiana University, Nichols taught a variety of subjects and grade levels before returning to SLU to get a masters in both History and English. There, she met her husband Howard, and together, they have two daughters, Lizzie and Frannie. After 25 years of teaching English at SLU, Nichols retired in 2007 to pursue art, writing, and travel.
