Margaret (Peggy) Preston Speckman, born May 10, 1933, to Robert and Eleanor Preston, passed away peacefully on May 22, 2017 surrounded by family. Born in Providence, RI, and raised in Rehoboth, MA, after graduation from Smith College, Peggy drove across the country with cousin Linda to Pinedale, WY. Shortly thereafter she relocated permanently to Denver, CO. She worked at the United States Bank (United Bank) where she met her husband Carroll Speckman. They were married in September 1959 and had three children, Mark, Jennifer and Sara. Peggy believed strongly in community involvement and began volunteer work in her early years in Providence, RI. After arriving in Colorado, she immediately began volunteer work with a number of organizations including Colorado General Hospital (now University Hospital). She was an active member in the Junior League, National Society of the Colonial Dames (NSCDA), National Trust for Historic preservation (Board Member), Smithsonian Institute, Audubon Society, and the Nature Conservancy. Peggy’s love of art and history drove her volunteer work with the Byers-Evans House in Denver, Hotel de Paris Museum in Georgetown, and Artists of America Show (Denver Rotary Club). She was also active in the education of her children through her participation in the PTA at their elementary, junior and high schools.
