I’m in shock! Have meet her at the Wikimedia Conference in Berlin and at Wikimania. She was a fantastic person but also very passionate.
The community has lost a great role model. My condolences to her family, colleagues and friends.

Elena Sanz was a strong, intelligent and brilliant woman. She joined Wikimedia movement in 2014 and after two years she because secretary of Wikimedia España, possition she had till now.
Many of you met her in many conferences and events, such as Wikimedia Conferences, Wikimanias or Iberoconfs, but also meeting for advocacy in the EU, the Wikipedia+education conference in Donostia, next to her home town. A very active person, this has been a huge shock for all of us.
If you want to leave your condolences, you can write in a page created for that on Spanish Wikipedia.[1] We wrote also a blog post dedicated to her memory.[2]
As a president of Wikimedia España and a friend of her, I want to express our condolences on behalf of Wikimedia España to his family and friends. We will always remember her.
