Margaret Anne ("Peg") Frampton of Urbana, longtime Assistant Professor of Library Science at the University of Illinois library, died peacefully on June 22, 2014, aged 94, at Carle Hospital. For the past twelve years, she has lived in a two-bedroom apartment at Clark Lindsey Village where she continued to enjoy a wide circle of friends and the many cultural activities of the community. Peg and her husband George, a Professor of Law at the University of Illinois School of law until his death in 1998, originally came to Urbana in 1954. After moving to Urbana, Peg took her degree in library science and worked for the better part of two decades mostly cataloguing new books at the University of Illinois library (a national library center for this function). While she became deeply knowledgeable about a number of different subjects over her career specializing in books in those particular areas, she was especially interested and expert in books relating to art and architecture. When she retired in 1985, she said that as new computer technology had arrived she was "leaving with the card catalogue." A beloved community leader for more than fifty years, she was a founding member of the Friends of the Urbana Free Library, President of the Library Board of Trustees, and later a member of the board of the Urbana Free Library Foundation, which planned and raised funds for the new addition to the library. She was long active in the League of Women Voters and was a board member of the Krannert Art Museum Council, where she was also a docent and researcher. She was also a member of the Spurlock Museum Guild, the Citizens' Advisory Council to the Urbana District 116 Board of Education, and the Centuria Circle of the University of Illinois Foundation's Presidents Council. Margaret Raup (then known as "Peggy Anne") was born in Bridgeton, NJ, and graduated from Duke University in 1940, where she met her husband, George. They were married in 1941 in the Duke Chapel where he had just graduated from Duke University School of Law. Early in her career she was a columnist for the Richmond News Leader, and then worked for the Board of Economic Warfare. During her husband's service in the US Army in Europe in World War II, she worked for the Special Branch, Military Intelligence, US War Department, where she was part of a small elite group working for the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the President analyzing and summarizing decoded German military and diplomatic communications. After the war she began raising a family in Westchester County, NY and the Boston area, and came to Urbana in 1954 when her husband became an Assistant Professor at the Law School. Her children George, born 1944, and Mary Louise, born 1946, attended Leal School and University High School in Urbana. In addition to living for short periods of time where George was a visiting professor of law, such as in New York, Berkeley, CA and Palo Alto, CA, they travelled to Great Britain, Central and South America, and China. For many decades, Peg spent summers at Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, where her large and loving family always gathered, a tradition that continued through this past summer. That family includes: her son, George, of Washington, D.C., a lawyer and environmentalist, and his wife Carla, a former investment banker and now scholar in Renaissance architecture; her daughter Mary Louise of Davis, CA, a professor at UC Berkeley School of Law and Faculty Director of the Thelton Henderson Center for Social Justice, and her husband Scott Williams, an attorney specializing in representing Native American Indian tribes; four grandchildren: Daniel Olmos, of David, CA, an attorney specializing in criminal defense litigation and his wife Erika Strand, a long-time educator; Adam Frampton, founder and principal in Only-If-Architecture in New York City; Margaret Olmos, Chief of Staff to the Assistant Secretary for the Office of Civil Rights, US Department of Education, in Washington, DC; and Thomas Frampton, an attorney beginning a stint as a public defender in New Orleans, La. She is also survived by two step-grand-children Lucas Williams, an attorney in San Francisco specializing in environmental law; and Seth Williams, a family therapist in San Diego; and two great-grandchildren, Gabriel and Annika Olmos, aged 5 and 2. A fiercely independent woman, Peg led a full and rich life shaped by her own values and will until a few weeks before her death, and maintained a deliberate course until the end surrounded by her family. A memorial service is being planned for late September or October at Clark Lindsey Village. In light of her involvement and support of the Urbana Free Library, the family asks that contributions be made to the Library, which this year is celebrating its 140th year of service to the community.
