She was born on March 4, 1927 in Centerfield, Utah. She was the second child born to Elgin and Elma Fjeldsted Bouvang.

Her family later moved to Gunnison, Utah where she graduated from Gunnison High School and attended LDS Business College in Salt Lake City. When she returned home, she met and fell in love with her eternal companion Merrill Roger Peterson of Redmond, Utah. They were sealed in the Manti Temple on February 10, 1947 and lived in Redmond for 10 years.
