Jennifer Susan "Jenny" Lay (néePescot; 1937 – 14 July 2013) was a British local politician in Norwich. She was Lord Mayor of Norwich for 2011–12.
Lay was born in Worthing, Sussex. Growing up in Portsmouth, England, she trained as a nurse.[1] After marrying her husband, Kenneth Lay, in the 1960s, they had to move around the country, due to his job as a prison officer. In 1980, they arrived in Norwich, loved the area, and decided to never leave. She soon became a member of its city council representing the Labour Party and, in 1998, its Sheriff.[1] In 2009, she was diagnosed with breast cancer and had to undergo a double mastectomy. In 2011, she was appointed Lord Mayor of Norwich.[2] In late 2012, the cancer returned and, her health failing, she was forced to step down from the mayorship and city council.[1]
Lay died of cancer on 14 July 2013 at the age of 74. She is survived by her husband, her son, Steve and daughter, Sue.[1]
