Cyralene Gale

Cyralene Gale passed away peacefully in the early evening of Sunday, July 8, 2018. Her’s was a life of journalistic activism, political acumen, and entrepreneurship. She was appointed one of Barbados’s first female senators both pre- and post- Independence, 1964-66 and 1971-1975, during and following a career as a columnist and Women’s Editor for the Barbados Advocate.

Now living in France, it is with great sadness that we have just learnt of the death of Cyraline, and would wish to send our condolences to all her family and friends. Back in the 1980ties, with my late husband Richard Steel, we lived on a yacht, the "Gub-Gub",and spent many months anchored in the bay off Port Elizabeth. Cyraline was so kind to our young daughter Joanna, and became an "extra" Godmother to her. So many memories! Diana Hembry, ex Mrs Richard Steel.
