A DEEP passion for equality was a guiding principle throughout Sally Peltier’s life.
Sally, who has died aged 85, not only fought tirelessly against injustice in her role as a teacher, Camden councillor, and political activist – but a lifelong love of the natural world made her an environmental and animal advocate, too.
It meant she was as likely to be found with a pet squirrel in a pocket as a copy of a political tome. Sally was born in Buckinghamshire.
