We review two important intervals in the life of this great person: her accomplishments as Technical Director of the SSC and her time and works at Cornell University. In the former she completed the site specific design of the SSC. In the latter she matriculated as a student in the Class of 1957 and worked through until the award of the PhD in 1966 after which she played a major role in bringing the then just finished 10 GeV electron synchrotron into operation in 1967. In 2001 she and Don endowed a chair in Accelerator Physics at Cornell.
