Tributes and words of support have been pouring from across the city after a “beloved” mum-of-five died suddenly in Birmingham.

Ola Lindo, a Sutton Coldfield construction manager and mum-of-five, died on June 7 from what her family believe were complications related to her health condition.

44-year-old Ola, described as “hard working, patient and kind” by her daughter, was diagnosed in March with Acute myeloid leukaemia.

Ola’s eldest daughter Lei Scott told BirminghamLive that her mum was “putting up a fight” with treatment and was due to come home.

However an unexpected fracture left Ola, who started her new construction manager role two weeks before her diagnosis, facing a long stay in hospital.

The hard-working mum’s family believe she died from underlying complications from her condition – but are awaiting confirmation on the cause of her death.

24-year-old Lei is now going through the process of becoming the guardian of her four siblings, despite having a one-year-old daughter herself.

Lei is the oldest of Ola’s five children, with her four younger siblings aged just 16, 14, 11 and 8.
