In Loving Memory of Encarnacion Manuel Lao, also known as "Enca".
1st April 1951 – 30th June 2025
It is with great sadness that we announce the loss of our beloved mum, Encarnacion Manuel Lao, fondly known as Enca, who passed peacefully with us by her side on 30th June 2025.
Our mum was diagnosed with cancer in April and succumbed to her illness 9.5 weeks later. During this incredibly short time, Mum always put on a brave face and did her best to remain strong for the sake of her loved ones.
Her funeral will take place on Friday, 18th July 2025 at 11:00am at Hendon Cemetery & Crematorium.
Your presence is the greatest gift; however, if you wish to honour Mum, any monetary contributions will go towards giving our mum the beautiful send-off she deserves. A donation will also be made to Henry Nihill House, the nursing home where she devoted 16 years of service, caring for others.
We kindly request guests wear an item of white clothing. While we are grieving, this is a celebration of mum's life, so please don't feel obliged to wear all black.
We thank you for your thoughts and prayers and are overwhelmed by the outpouring of love during this challenging time.
Love,
Edward and Stephanie
