We’ve recently learned of the sad death following a short illness of Mary Evans , our former District and County Councillor.
Mary was a faithful public servant for many years and will be sadly missed by a huge number of people in all our communities. She did so much for Wickhambrook, working tirelessly for our community and supporting the parish council in a wide range of projects for the benefit of Wickhambrook Residents.
Matthew Hicks, leader of Suffolk County Council, said:
“Mary was a hugely dedicated and kind councillor and a dear friend. She was determined to make a difference for the residents of Suffolk, whether in Clare Division or as a Cabinet Member and Deputy Leader of Suffolk County Council.
“In the most difficult times during the pandemic, when we faced so much uncertainty, Mary was always a huge support to me and all our colleagues. Her contribution to our county can never be understated; she will be greatly missed by us all.”
His words are so true.
Our thanks go out to Mary, and our thoughts and prayers to her family and loved ones.
