L'Alliance Française d'El Paso

en Deuil

Dear Alliance Française Members and Friends,

It is with a heavy heart and immense sadness that the Board of Directors of the Alliance Française d’El Paso announces the passing of Madame Maud Snell, President, who had faithfully served the Alliance Française for several decades. This is a tremendous loss to her family, her friends, and everyone who knew her and respected her in our El Paso community. She will be sorely missed and remembered for her generosity, commitment and dedication to our organization that has thrived and survived throughout many crises since 1964 when it was founded. If you are able to join us to bid Maud a final goodbye at her funeral service, below is the information:

Date: Saturday February 10, 2024
Time: 10 a.m.
Location: University Presbyterian Church, 244 N. Resler, El Paso, TX 79912


To pay tribute to an amazing lady who unconditionally supported the Alliance Française for many years, the Board of Directors voted to establish a scholarship in her name. While we are still working out the structure and the eligibility criteria of this scholarship, we envision, just as Maud suggested two weeks before she passed away, that an annual scholarship will support qualified students who study the French language. Because the Alliance is on a tight budget, fundraising activities would fund this scholarship. As a starter, the Board has committed to donate to this scholarship fund and hopes that the members will also consider donating as a tribute to Maud. Please consider donating to the scholarship fund in lieu of sending flowers to express your condolences. To this end, we have created a link to the scholarship fund that can be found at the bottom of this letter. You can also send a check made out to the Alliance Française d’El Paso to the attention of Josette Shaughnessy, Treasurer for the Maud Snell Scholarship. If you write this on the memo line of the check, Ms. Shaughnessy will know where to record the donation.

We thank you for your continued support and wish you peace and good health,

Bien cordialement,

Josette Shaughnessy, Interim President/Treasurer
Sandra McHale, Vice President
Hilda Kelley, Vice President
Jane Evans, Secretary
