Hello,
We learned with great sadness of the sudden passing of Elena Sanz yesterday.
We may not all have met her, but we know how much she meant to the movement, and we know
how much the movement meant to her.
Please pass our sincerest condolences to her loved ones.
For the Board of Wikimédia France

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.

Hello. I have bad news, the kind of news we never want to have. Our friend and colleage
Elena Sanz (user ElsaBornFree) passed away last night.
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.
