Peach was born and raised in Starkville/Trinidad and attended area schools. In 2000, she began her employment as a clerk with the Las Animas County Clerk & Recorder’s office which led to a successful career, becoming the elected County Clerk & Recorder in 2014, serving two terms. In 2005, she married her loving husband Christopher Vigil, and together they had two beautiful daughters, Carley and Cydney, and Peach gained two wonderful bonus children, Ashley and Dylan. Peach was a dedicated public servant who loved music and dancing, enjoyed watching movies, spending time with her family, snuggling her dogs, and “cruisin’ the bricks” with her niece Brittany and best friend Joe. Peach had a wonderful sense of humor,
loved any kind of comedy, and would light up a room with her laughter and beautiful smile. She loved all holidays, when her family was all together to eat, celebrate, and make memories. She was also blessed with countless friends who loved her dearly
