Laila Sanem Obituary (2026)

Laila Sanem, a beacon of light and a paragon of strength, passed away peacefully on May 4, 2026. She was a woman of many talents, unyielding determination, and a heart as vast as the universe. Her legacy will forever echo the words of Helen Keller, "What we have once enjoyed deeply we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us." Laila's love for life and her infectious laughter were the pillars that held her family together. Her survivors are a testament to her nurturing spirit — a loving husband, two dedicated sons, and five grandchildren, who will continue to honor her legacy. Laila was preceded in death by her parents and her elder brother. Each individual touched by Laila's life carries a piece of her spirit, her strength, and her boundless love. Services to honor Laila's life are under the direction of Circle of Life Funeral Home and will be led by Pastor Bobby Bledsoe of Dwelling Place Church. As we gather to bid farewell to Laila, we celebrate her life and the many ways she touched our hearts. In the words of Emily Dickinson, "Unable are the loved to die, for love is immortality." In the spirit of Laila's life, we encourage you to share your memories and upload photos to the memorial page. These shared moments will serve as a comfort in grief and a joyful celebration of a life well-lived. Let us remember Laila not with sadness but with the warmth and love she has left behind. Her life was a testament to the power of love, kindness, and the human spirit. Her memory will live on, not just in the stories we share, but in the lives she has touched.
