A Seattle woman who died last year at the age of 105 left behind a legacy of education – donating nearly $10 million to community colleges in her home state.

Last month, 17 colleges across Washington state each received a check for $550,000 from the estate of Eva Gordon.

Family members say Gordon never attended college herself and always regretted it. She made her fortune through smart investments – including famous Washington-based companies like Microsoft and Starbucks.
