Tributes have flood in following the death of a \u201ckind and caring\u201d woman who made \u201ceveryone\u2019s lives better\u201d. Layla Owens, a 28 year-old from Fazakerely<\/a>, in Merseyside, died in January 2025.<\/p>\n Layla spent several years teaching languages at the Blackley<\/a> Co-Op Academy in Manchester. Even after she left teaching, she would volunteer at a library in Manchester every weekend, the Liverpool Echo reports.<\/p>\n She had a wide variety of skills. She also worked in the prestigious Nord restaurant in Liverpool city centre<\/a> at a time when she was considering becoming a chef.<\/p>\n She also worked at a law firm in Manchester and spoke many different languages. During her life, Layla became known for her many acts of generosity.<\/p>\n Paying tribute to her daughter, her mum Anne Owens, 58, told the ECHO<\/a>: \u201dShe was a very bubbly and very energetic. She had a very inquiring mind, was always a joy to be around and was very caring. The overriding thing that people say about Layla is that she’d do anything for anybody. She was a really nice person.<\/p>\n \u201cWe would be walking through town and she’d stop at every homeless person and give them her money. She wasn’t materialistic at all. As stunning and pretty as Layla was, she was a very simple girl.<\/p>\n \u201cShe loved her role as a teacher. She didn’t know when to switch off. We would be constantly in B&M, buying stuff for the kids. She cared about them because she was a very young teacher herself.<\/p>\n \u201cFor some of her students, English wasn’t their first language, but of course, with her speaking the likes of Arabic and French, she broke down barriers.\u201d<\/p>\n Her sister Jessica Owens, 26, added: \u201cWherever Layla was, she had this vibe that lit up the room. She would make friends with anyone and everyone with people from all over the world.<\/p>\n \u201cA lot of the kids that they remember as she\u2019d put the music on in the class every morning and start dancing. On Paddy\u2019s Day she dressed up as a leprechaun. She loved traveling as well. She loved France and she lived there for a year. I think that was probably her happiest time for her.\u201d<\/p>\n Layla was not afraid to go against the crowd either. Anne said: \u201cShe was a mad Evertonian<\/a> and was a club member, even though we\u2019re all Reds. We\u2019d go to Goodison and she’d say “stand up for Z Cars”. She always wanted a Scouse pie at games.\u201d<\/p>\n![\"Layla](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/1745195530_221_0_She-was-a-celebration-She-didnt-deserve-the-end-she-had.jpg\")
