Grenada remembers Mrs. Beverley Steele who, itโs been brought to our knowledge, has gone to the Great Beyond.
Word has reached us that she died recently.
Born in Jamaica, Beverley Steele was a Senior Lecturer at the University of the West Indies and was for long years a resident tutor and Head of the University of the West Indies Outreach Center in Grenada.
She also served as Honorary Consul for Jamaica in Grenada for many years.
Condolences continue pouring into family and friends on her passing.
Beverly Steele, whoโs also an historian, has written several books relative to Grenadaโs history, including โHow Grenada Won World War Twoโ and โ Marryshow House – A Living Legacyโ, giving a vivid account of the pursuits of renowned Grenadian, Theophilus Albert Marryshow, the Father of West Indian Federation.
Sheโs also remembered as a vanguard advocating for a monument on account of the sinking of the Grenada freighter, the โIsland Queenโ which was torpedoed during the wartime.
This monument now stands on the Carenage, known as the โChrist of the Deepโ
