Dr. Peterson was born on March 8, 1959, in Ridgecrest, California, and grew up in the San Francisco Bay area city of Sunnyvale, California. She graduated from Fremont High School in 1977, earned a BA in English from Pacific Lutheran University in 1982, and graduated from the University of Texas at Austin in 1993 with an MA in English and PhD in Rhetoric and Composition. She was hired as an Assistant Professor of English that year at Morehead State University, where she became Coordinator of the General Education Writing Program and later Director of the Morehead Writing Project; she served for two years as Director of the Rural Sites Network for the National Writing Project. On June 24, 1995, Nancy married
Glen Colburn, and on October 27, 1997, Henry was born.
Honored for her achievements as an educator and leader by the University, the Kentucky Writing Project, and the National Writing Project, Dr. Peterson was passionate about writing and the teaching of writing. Her travels throughout eastern Kentucky taught her to love the region, and her experiences with the region’s educators and students taught her to love its people. She was an avid reader and a sparkling conversationalist. She had a ready laugh, a quick wit, and an inexhaustible capacity for empathy, compassion, and generosity, all of which she bestowed liberally on family, friends, students, and complete strangers alike. Her example and her love live on in the hearts of all who knew her. The world is a better place for having been blessed with her too-brief time in it.
The family asks that those who wish to honor her memory in some tangible way make donations in Dr. Peterson’s name to one of the several organizations she supported herself, including the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation, World Vision, Pacific Lutheran University, First Baptist Church of Morehead, Morehead Habitat for Humanity, and Morehead State University (particularly Morehead State Public Radio or the Department of English, Foreign Languages, and Philosophy).
