Margaret Snyder, whose liberal Roman Catholic upbringing inspired a pioneering career at the United Nations, where she refocused the mechanisms of global development aid to include millions of women in Africa, Asia and Latin America, died Jan. 26 in Syracuse, New York. She was 91.
The cause was cardiac arrest, her nephew James Snyder said.
