Hope Benson Machedon, 44, of Bethesda, Md., died March 3 at home. She was a Princeton resident from 1988 to 1995 before moving to Bethesda.
She grew up in Binghamton, N.Y. As a child she loved playing the violin, taking long bike trips, and achieving success in school. Valedictorian of her high school, she later earned a bachelor's degree from MIT and master's degree from NYU, both in mathematics.
A Fellow of the Society of Actuaries, she was an employee of The Equitable before becoming a consultant for the company.
At the age of 37 she re-discovered her passion for long distance running. In two years she progressed from casual runner to national class, and was hopeful of making the Olympic trials for the marathon when, at age 40, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She nevertheless continued to train like an Olympic athlete, inspiring her doctor, family, and friends. During her last years, the Internet's running sites became an increasingly important part of her life.
Predeceased by her mother, Mary D. Benson, she is survived by her husband, Matei Machedon; her father, Byron Clark Benson; a son, Radu; and a sister, Elizabeth Benson Truman.
A road race in her honor is being planned on a date to be determined this fall.
