Sally Farmiloe-Neville (1954 – 2014)
This Hampshire born actress, model and author embodied the spirit of a true trooper. Having starred in the 1980s drama series Howards’ Way, Farmiloe-Neville made her name organising fundraisers for both the Conservatives and charities and did so with a panache second to none. She did not allow an affair with Jeffrey Archer to shape her and as a caring mother to daughter Jade, stepson Alistair and adopted daughter Kat, lived happily with her husband Jeremy Neville, a chartered surveyor, in Baron’s Court. Having sadly lost her long battle with breast cancer, Sally Farmiloe-Neville’s arrival will now mean heaven will forever be a none stop party.
