Marie Pistilli Passed Away

Marie Pistilli, who was injured in a car-crash in October (as I included in my first blog on my first day at Cadence). The crash left her largely paralyzed. She passed away on November 14th. Although she had retired, she was one of the driving forces in the creation of the Design Automation Conference and all that it became. Her name will live on in the Marie R. Pistilli Women in Electronic Design Automation Achievement Award and in MP associates, the company that still runs DAC.

You can read her obituary in the local paper in Colorado here.
