If there was ever a person who wanted to heal all the wrongs in the world, it was Carol "Peachy" Smith. She was an idealist who sought to bring harmony to those around her. Even though Peachy was enthusiastic and generous, it was sometimes difficult for her to boast about her accomplishments. Peachy had strong personal convictions, making it hard for her to relinquish those ideals she held dearest to herself. Despite her outer strengths and beliefs, Peachy sometimes struggled in her efforts to see the world as completely positive. Peachy's life motto was always to hope for the best and work hard towards that end, but be prepared for some of life's disappointments. This philosophy was a continual driving force in her life, but it did not extinguish the bright light that defined the dreamer in Peachy, something that was always there and that she readily shared with everyone around her. Her parents were Olan and Vada Burrows. Peachy was raised in Louisville, Ky. As a youngster, Peachy demonstrated an excellent vocabulary and command of language. She was a compassionate person, a quality that she would carry with her throughout her life. Even at a young age, Peachy was sensitive to her parents' moods and worked hard to please them and live up to their expectations.

As a young girl, Peachy lived a childhood filled with fantasy. She was generally in pursuit of her own identity, but she was also adaptable to almost any situation she faced. In her spare time she liked to jump rope and roller skate. However, to Peachy, the most fun to be had was simply playing, and spending time with her many friends.
While those who did not know her well found Peachy to be somewhat reserved until they got to know her, she was an authentic and devoted friend. Peachy was a tranquil person, with an easygoing and open-minded attitude towards life. She presented a pleasant face to the outside world but concealed the pain and discomfort she felt over her own friends' difficulties. Peachy sought to achieve harmony with everyone and possessed the ability to mend conflicts and avoid interpersonal struggles. Later in life, she became friends with Bobbie Manning, Barbara Bozeman, Vicki Rambin,and Pat Hacker.

Peachy worked well with fellow employees and showed great cooperation in reaching common goals. Though she had a tendency to take on too many tasks, herself; Peachy showed great patience with complicated situations. She was ingenious and trusted her intuition.
