Barbara Liskov, who won the 2008 Turing Award for her work in the design of programming languages and software methodology that led to the development of object-oriented programming. Her work at MIT on the CLU programming language influenced many modern languages, interfaces, exception handling, abstraction mechanisms, etc. She was my undergraduate thesis advisor in 1974.
