Enri moved to Havana, Cuba, with her husband and infant son in 1953 and emigrated to the United States in 1967. 

Mrs. Alecha was predeceased by her husband in 1984. Survivors include her son, Francisco Javier Alecha, a sister, Asuncion Erlanz , who lived with and cared for her, a host of loving nieces and nephews, and many dedicated caretakers who assisted Enri during the later years of her life. 

She was a dedicated Catholic and a parishioner at St. Stephen Catholic Church. Enri enjoyed reading, cooking large Spanish meals with her sister, and caring for her family.
