Rambo – A legal trailblazer, Judge Rambo was the first woman to serve as Cumberland County’s chief public defender, chief judge of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of PA, and the first to have a federal courthouse named after her in the state. Her dedication to justice paved the way for women in law and public service.

Overcoming a difficult upbringing, she dedicated herself to public service, fighting for agriculture, land preservation and conservation.
