The 16-year-old died after a sudden and short illness.
A student from Rawtenstall who died after a sudden and short illness will be commemorated during a funeral service this week.
Isabel Kate Connolly-Wellock died suddenly on Friday March 31 in the Royal Blackburn hospital. The 16-year-old student who studied at All Saints' Roman Catholic High School in Waterfoot has been described by her family as a 'lovely, caring young person'.
Isabel was born in Waterfoot where she lived all of her life. She attended Waterfoot Primary school and All Saints RC school, Rawtenstall. The family have said that Isabel has now left her parents Ian and Geraldine, sister Bryde, grandma Barbara, aunties, uncles, cousins and many friends.
Following the announcement of her death during the Easter school holidays, a funeral service will be held at St Anne’s CE Edgeside.
Isabel's family have opened up the invitation to staff and close friends at Isabel's school. All Saints RC school posted the announcement on their Facebook page, informing members of the school of the service which is to be held tomorrow, Wednesday, April 19 at 2pm conducted by the Rev Rod Bevan, followed by interment in the church graveyard.
In a full statement, the school also announced it will be closed to staff and pupils at midday on the day of Isabel's funeral to allow those who wish to attended to do so. The statement reads: "Dear Parents and Carers. As we broke up for the Easter holidays, we communicated some very sad information to you about the tragic loss of one of our pupils, Isabel Connolly-Wellock.
"The funeral for Isabel will be at 2pm on Wednesday 19th April 2023 at St Anne’s Church in Edgeside. The family have invited any staff and close friends of Isabel to attend if they wish to.

The school has worked with Isabel's family to set up a Just Giving Page to raise fund for a charity of their choice. The family have chosen The SEPSIS UK Trust following their daughter's sudden death.
The statement continues to read: "The school has also set up a Just Giving page in memory of Isabel which is raising funds for the charity chosen by the family, The SEPSIS UK Trust. The link to the Just Giving page is https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/isabel-cw.

When is gummit going to admit their experimental mRNA gene therapy is dangerous.
What country is Waterfoot?
She died of Sepsis?
This is from Northern England.
May she rest in peace, and may her family be consoled.
And may her cause of death be critically examined, without fear or favor.
Never.
And shoddy socialized medical care. They miss a lot of sepsis. This is the second one I’ve read about in as many months.
Sad. RIP.
My son’s SO lost her 22 yo daughter to sepsis in 2020. She had stomach pains but covered it up with opioids, until it was too late. Turns out she had a stone blocking her bile duct. Sepsis is a b!tch.
SUDDENLY BUMP
