Margaret McNamara

Margaret Craig McNamara (August 22, 1915 – February 3, 1981) was the founder of the nonprofit children's literacy organization Reading is Fundamental and the wife of the United States Secretary of Defense Robert S. McNamara.
==Biography==
She was born in Spokane, Washington on August 22, 1915, but she grew up in Alameda, California.〔(Margaret McNamara Memorial Fund )〕
McNamara attended University of California, Berkeley, where she met Robert McNamara, whom she would marry on August 13, 1940.〔(Robert McNamara: Secretary of Defense excoriated for his part in leading America into the Vietnam War ), a July 7, 2009, obituary from ''The Independent''.〕 Her husband's appointment by President John F. Kennedy as U.S. Secretary of Defense led to their move to Washington, D.C.. Her experiences while tutoring had three children in the District led to the formation of Reading is Fundamental (RIF), a nonprofit children's literacy organization dedicated to making reading a fun and beneficial part of everyday life. It is the largest literacy program in the country.
On January 16, 1981, President Jimmy Carter awarded McNamara the Medal of Freedom for her work with RIF. She died of cancer eighteen days later, at the age of 65.〔(Margaret Craig McNamara, 65, is Dead; Began Children's Reading Program ), a February 4, 1981, obituary from ''The New York Times''.〕〔(Deaths ), a February 16, 1981, article from ''Time'' magazine.〕 She is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
