The memorial...
This annual scholarship was established by grants from
the Woodinville Rotary Club in memory of Woodinville resident Peg
Phillips, the founder of Woodinville Repertory Theater. Peg gained
notoriety through her acting role as Ruth Ann Miller in the hit television
series, Northern Exposure .
Peg retired from a career in accounting to take up acting at age 65,
attending the drama school at the University of Washington before landing
the storekeeper role in the TV show. She appeared in a number of movies,
TV guest performances and even commercials.
She was a resident of Woodinville from 1977 until her passing in November
of 2002. She was known for her passion for theater, a down home persona
living in a 100-year-old unpretentious farm house where she gathered a
host of friends one day and decided to start the repertory theater --
stating "We have enough malls and stores in Woodinville. It's time for
some culture."
She was the first and only honorary member invited to membership in
Woodinville Rotary.
