If she knows the snake is there then she can stay away from it. I wouldn't suggest taking it out and getting it close to her, she may panic. My mom is very scared of snakes and when she visits we don't take any snakes out unless she knows first and no one tries to get close to her with one. My mom doesn't mind when they are in their homes:D If you respect her fear (even if you don't understand it) then things should work out ok.

I understand, if I told my mom there was one outside she wouldn't go out either:D For her it matters if it's loose not so much if it's confined. I have the same problem with spiders, LOL.
You need to tell her unless you can keep her from finding the snake. It will be worse if she comes across it and is surprised. Honesty is best:)
