The Slough Borough Council website reports the sad news:
Councillor Jenkins, 72, died yesterday (29 December 2010) following a fall at her home. She had been a Liberal Democrat councillor for Foxborough ward since being elected in 2004.
Councillor Robert Plimmer, fellow Liberal Democrat councillor for Foxborough, said: “Sonja was a much loved and hardworking member of the local community in Langley. She was known by everyone in Foxborough and was regularly stopped in the street by people looking for help. As well as being a councillor she served with distinction on the Langley Carnival Committee for many years. She was a well liked, pillar of the local community and she will be sorely missed.”

A very sad loss – for both local residents in Foxborough and our party. Sonja was exactly the kind of local councillor that our party is built on; caring, conscientious, and passionately committed to doing all she could to help her local community. She will be sorely missed.
