Born August 25, 1932 in Memphis, Mrs. Petersen lived in Wynne, AR and Los Angeles before returning to Memphis where she completed high school. She attended Park College in Parkville, MO., the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville and the University of Texas at Arlington before receiving her B.A. degree in 1967 and M.A. in 1969 from the University of North Texas.

Upon her retirement 25 years later, Mrs. Petersen's students and faculty colleagues established a scholarship in her honor.

She was also a member of the Clinical Certification Board of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association and was a fellow of the American Academy of Audiology.
