Alice E. Snater
June 27, 1936 – June 17, 2015
After losing her dream home near Lafayette Park to a catastrophic flood in 1978, Alice Snater became a dedicated citizen volunteer for the city of Austin, working on flood relocation projects. From 1978 to 2004, she collected data for grant programs and co-founded the Flood Action Citizens Task Source (FACTS), which actively lobbied local, state, and federal agencies for flood-hazard mitigation initiatives. Throughout the years, Alice served on several boards and commissions, including the Sacred Heart Care Center, the Civil Service Police Commission, the Human Rights Commission, and the Austin City Council. Additionally, she contributed as a collaborative team member for the Parents Forever Program, the Seibel Center, and worked for the courts as an advocate for minor children for over 25 years.
