MADISON - Signe E. Peterson, age 73, of Madison, passed away on Thursday, March 14, 2024, at BeeHive Homes. She was born on Oct. 25, 1950, in Viroqua Wis., the daughter of Ernest and Sigfreed (Jacobson) Peterson.

Signe graduated from Viroqua High School in 1968, and went on to earn a teaching degree from UW-La Crosse. She taught English at Memorial High School in Madison, and at Taravella High School in Coral Springs, Fla.

Signe enjoyed spending time with her family and friends in Wisconsin and Florida. She liked playing golf, and was an avid fan of football, basketball and baseball. Throughout her life, Signe was never without a dog as a faithful companion. And, of course, purple was her signature color.
