Lethe attended country school at Oak Lake District #62. Then she attended White High School graduating in 1943. After attending Madison Normal School, she taught at Oak Lake District #63 where she met Francis Anderson.

She did house cleaning for many families in and around Brookings. She loved to garden, crochet, quilt and read until her eyesight began to fail. She began attending SDSU basketball games with family following Francis' death and enjoyed following the Jackrabbits on TV through this past year.
