I knew Edith for twelve years. She and I both worked for Intel. She was a very special lady, and I was very fortunate to know her. She loved her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren very much. I loved to hear the funny stories she told about her grandchildren and great grandchildren. She also considered Intel part of her extended family too. She loved to bake, and would always bring in cookies, angel food cake, and other goodies for us at Intel. I will miss her very much. Sincerely, Robin Hansen
