Tributes were paid by her union, the CWU.
The Communication Workers Union said it was deeply saddened to announce that its president and chairwoman of its postal executive, Jane Loftus, died following a short illness.
A statement by CWU general secretary Dave Ward said: “This news will be extremely upsetting to us all. “Jane was a huge figure in our union over many decades and we know branches, representatives and members will be shocked and saddened by this news.“However, Jane will be remembered for her passion and commitment and for her inspirational campaigning against all forms of injustice and discrimination – both within the CWU and the wider movement.
“At this moment in time our thoughts are with Jane’s husband Chris, her daughter Joanne and her family and on behalf of the whole union we offer them our heartfelt condolences.”We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
