Hungerford Town Council released the following statement:
“Hungerford Town Council was saddened to hear of the passing away of Gwynneth Bullock on Tuesday this week. Gwynneth had served as Councillor, Mayor and Deputy Mayor over a number of years, and was an inspiration for many of the past and current councillors.
Anthony Buckwell, former Mayor of Hungerford said: "My family and I knew Gwynneth Bullock for about 30 years. During these last six years I was privileged to get to know her even better here in Hungerford and, as I had no hesitation in asking her, was delighted when she agreed, as a previous Mayor of Hungerford, to be my Deputy. Her wise counsel, energetic and forthright views were never to be ignored. Gywnneth was an example to us; she will be much missed by all who knew her."
Gwynneth will be sorely missed by all the people who knew her, and our thoughts and prayers are with Gwynneths family and loved ones during this sad time.”
Mrs Bullock was also a former chairwoman of Newbury Society, from 1996 to 2007.
Vice chairman of the society, Anthony Pick, said she had been a major contributor to the society, which honoured her with the presentation of a certificate of merit in 2008 for this voluntary work.
“She was well known for her cheerfulness, sensitivity to people and leadership,” said Mr Pick.
Mrs Bullock was a member of the former Berkshire County Council as a Speen councillor, from 1987 to 1990 and also a member of the former Newbury District Council, from 1991 to 1994 as the Conservative member for Kintbury, West Berkshire Council has confirmed.
