Peggy went to CU-Boulder, got her bachelors degree in 1975 and worked as an accountant for many years. She went on to receive a masters in business and a doctorate in psychology at CU-Colorado Springs. She married Terry Smith and had two sons and a daughter; at her death she had six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Peggy loved being a psychologist and is remembered for her generosity, lively spirit and loving humor. She had a rare brain cancer and fought a hard battle, but was cheerful, even from her bed in the last weeks of her illness. She created a moving memorial slideshow, set to music, for our Zoom reunion in 2020. We are comforted to know she died on the last day of our 50+1 class reunion, with her old friends together and thinking of her.
