Peggy Lee Mounteer, 60, passed away April 1, 2014 at her home in Kearns. She was born May 6, 1953 in Panguitch to Marvin "Coty" and Louise Spencer Mounteer.
Because her father was a teacher, Peggy learned to read and write before she started school. In the fourth grade her teacher realized that Peggy could not see and was fitted with glasses. Because of her vison problems, she never participated in sports, but became one of the best spectator sport fans.
Peggy took piano lessons from the time she was six and her grandmother Spencer gave her a piano. While attending BYU she pinched a nerve in her neck and lost partial use of her hands. Because of this she wouldn’t play in public.
In her senior year of high school, Peggy won the "Betty Crocker" award for her essay about stay-at-home moms. After graduating from highschool in Escalante, she attended BYU, earning a Bachelors of Science degree.
