Statement from the Leader of Suffolk County Council Conservative Group, Councillor Matthew Hicks.
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. Our thoughts are with her husband, family and friends at this difficult time.
