No, you haven't heard of her, and you won't. Thought globally, acted locally. But she taught a couple of generations of volunteers and employees how to be incredible people. I happened to marry one.

She worked for a long time in the area of suicide prevention. But what she was really teaching is how to listen to others, and help other people achieve what THEY wanted to choose to achieve. In the process, one would learn that other people can concieve and achieve great things, if the rest of us will just help and then get out of the way. This town is littered with people who got their start working with her. And they have deep penetration into the schools, social service, medicine, politics, and volunteer agencies of all stripes.
