She joined sisters Mary Evelene, Viola Idell, Martha Faye and Patricia Diane, with brothers Brodus King, Chessie Sherman and Henry Pratt Roland, Jr. Peggy loved and cared for each family member and loved them tenderly.
Peggy loved to learn. She was a student at Bellevue Elementary and Miller High School in Macon, Georgia. She then moved to Provo, Utah and continued her education at Brigham Young University, where she earned her Bachelor’s degree, Master’s Degree and Ed. D.

The Roland Award was named after Peggy, and is the highest award given by the Utah Middle Level Association. The award is presented each year to an individual who has demonstrated a level of service, integrity, and leadership in middle level education.

Peggy was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She loved her Heavenly Father so very much and served Him faithfully all of her life. She especially loved her calling as a temple worker in the LDS Mount Timpanogos temple.
