She loved her family and friends and having great adventures, especially with grandkids, Aiden, Logan, Emersen, Dylan and Gavin. She loved attending all of their school and sports functions. She loved Colorado's mountains and being outdoors, camping, hiking, fly-fishing and golfing. Peg had a wonderful ability to reach out to people and touch them with her positive energy, she never knew a stranger. She will be remembered for her zest for life, infectious smile and best hugs ever.

She is survived by her best friend and loving partner of 24 years, Donna Jack; Donna's sons, Bryan (Jennifer) Jack, Adam Jack and Jared Jack, a brother, Steven (Angie) Richardson; sister, Cheryl (Frank) Pray, nieces, nephews and cousins.

I will never forget the first time I met Peg on the 2nd floor of the City Admin Building. We were instantly friends (I don't think Peg ever met anyone that was not a friend to her!) and her smile was infectious. I consider myself lucky to have counted this beautiful soul as one of my dear friends. I will miss her positive attitude and that silver sharp hair. My heart is saddened by my friends passing and my thoughts and prayers are with her family. Peggy Sue I miss you!

My heart goes out to Peg Richardson's family and friends. I knew Peg when she worked in the Streets Division of the City of COS.
Yes, Peg was always full-of-life, up-beat and was a great leader.
My heart was broken when I read of her passing.
