The island has come together in paying tribute to Sadie Le Sueur-Rennard, who has passed away.

The long-serving Constable of St Saviour died suddenly in hospital yesterday morning (8 April).

The Parish of St Saviour has changed its Facebook profile picture to Sadie and has thanked her for all she has done for the parish and island.

Members of the parish have also come forward to share their memories of their much-loved Constable.

Like many today, I was shocked and saddened to hear of the sudden passing of St Saviour Constable Sadie Le Sueur-Rennard. I enjoyed the time we spent working together. She was a great character and a champion of the Parish. Thoughts are with her family & friends ♥️

So shocked & extremely saddened by this news.

Sadie was always so kind & caring, she'd check in on me to see how I was doing when I didn't sound great, as I too did the same with her ❤️ & her contributions in the @StatesAssembly debates often bought a smile to my face.
RIP 🙏 https://t.co/GyR9nRE2YZ

I am sad and shocked, just this Tuesday we were together at a Scrutiny meeting. Saddie was always not just very hard working colleague, but always energetic and supportive. My heart is her family. RIP 💔

Sadie was a star in the theatre and on the political stage and it was a privilege to work closely with her in both those words. None of us were ready for the loss of such a shining light. Flights of angels sing thee to thy rest Darling x

This is absolutely shocking and so very sad. Sadie was one of the most colourful characters I've ever met and I just can't imagine the States without her.

My thoughts are with her family and frankly the whole island who will miss her dearly. https://t.co/BuCunMwkXZ

Our beloved Sadie has passed, who loved her family, cows, parish, island & was there for all, when they needed her, as she was for me from the age of 10. Thoughts with the family & all who loved her. Close your eyes & forever hear her singing Beautiful Jersey. Rest in peace AM x pic.twitter.com/f4FOn0Bmuj

This is very sad news. Sadie always welcomed us. I would always look across the chamber for the reaction to my speeches. A smile, perhaps a frown and sometimes even a wink of the eye. But always an honest response. My thoughts and love with her family at this time. ❤ https://t.co/7anipAeUfC

Very sad to hear the news of Sadie Rennard's passing today. She was one of the great characters of the States Assembly and her singing of "Beautiful Jersey " will always be unequalled.
Her cheery smile will be much missed by all.
Thoughts are with her family .

So very sad

Mrs Le Sueur-Rennard was a popular mother of St Saviour, famous for her Liberation Day rendition of Beautiful Jersey, a fluent Jèrriais speaker & devoted to her farm of traditional organic Jersey cows

Her endearing way with words & manner will be sadly missed

RIP https://t.co/Jo8gdK5sqi

she was forthright in her opinions and passionate but realistic about environmental matters.

She attended her last panel meeting yesterday morning and we’ll miss her. RIP Sadie. MJ.

I am shocked and deeply saddened at the news that Sadie Rennard has passed away. Sadie was always so warm, friendly and kind. She was so proud of our Island and traditions and always stood up for St Saviour. I know many people will miss her greatly, as will I. RIP Sadie.
