Mayor, Council and Staff of the Town of Oxford would like to give this statement in regards to the recent passing of our former Mayor Lloyd Jenkins.
"The Town of Oxford is mourning the loss of former long-time Mayor Lloyd Jenkins. Lloyd Jenkins, a former Mayor and educator at the Oxford Regional High School, had an incredible impact on our Town. As a Mayor, Mr. Jenkins was a community champion who took great pride in our Town. His passion for serving others will not be forgotten. Mr. Jenkins was first elected to the Oxford Town Council on November 13, 1980, and served our community as Mayor starting November 14, 2000, for 12 years. Our deepest condolences go to Lloyd Jenkins’s family and all those he touched throughout his life.”
