She was born on December 1, 1919 in Putnam County, MO. Letha was united in marriage December 1, 1940 to Farris D. Hogg by Aubrey Collins in Worthington, MO. The couple farmed in Putnam County, MO until 1946 when they moved to Ottumwa, IA. Letha sought to share her faith and was active at North Court Baptist Church for 44 years in several ministries: teaching Sunday School, leading Ladies Group, and being a devoted deacon’s wife.
