Lewisham Council announces death of ‘kind and compassionate’ Bellingham councillor
Labour Councillor Sue Hordijenko, who has represented Bellingham since 2016, has died.
Mayor of Lewisham Damien Egan said: “I am deeply saddened by the death of our friend and colleague Sue Hordijenko.
“Sue was a kind and compassionate councillor, who worked tirelessly to support the people she represented in Bellingham.
“Even if you had just met Sue, you instantly felt like you were talking to a friend.
“She was a popular and respected figure at the Council and will be deeply missed by many.
“My thoughts and prayers are with Sue’s family and friends.”
Ms Hordijenko, who previously was a public engagement specialist and a fitness instructor, was part of the Labour and Co-operative Party.
She represented the Bellingham ward along with Cllr Alan Hall and Cllr Jacq Paschoud.
Lewisham Council said it is a “great sadness” to announce Cllr Hordijenko’s death but could provide no further details at this time out of respect to her friends and family.
