yes.
virtual memorials are fine, and we could do an editathon in her name
as we did for Kevin,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Women_in_Red/2016_Women…
but i think we should organize some scholarships / stipends in her name.
i will raise this at Wikimedia DC meeting in June. if anyone else is
interested, let me know.

Wikimedians from the Dutch community we lost last year, and the people that handle the

memorial about two of them who also were internationally active: the team is quite
pro-active in this. The in memorials were published in the English Signpost.

on Wikimania (after an email on wikimedia-l, and maybe other places, to share the
usernames of the people we lost in the past year) and we even had a small memorial site at
Wikimania 2019. Very nicely done, under a tree, in the grass field next to the main
building.
