Condolences on the Passing of Dr Maura Imbert

Nov 17, 2023

Her Excellency Christine Carla Kangaloo O.R.T.T., President of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, mourns the death of Dr. Maura Imbert.

Dr. Imbert was a biochemist and university lecturer but it was for her work in the field of Astronomy that she was recognised with a Hummingbird Medal GOLD in the 2019 National Awards.

A founding member of the Trinidad and Tobago Astronomical Society, Dr. Imbert was involved in the precise videotaping of the occultation of a star by Titania, one of the moons of the planet Uranus. As a result, this once-in-a-lifetime event can now be viewed by many international astronomical societies and on several websites.

Her Excellency extends deepest condolences to the family, friends and students of the late Dr. Maura Imbert. May she rest in eternal peace.

Lyle Alexander, President of the Trinidad and Tobago Legion of the Royal Commonwealth Ex-Services League; Mr. Adrian Gill, Secretary; and Mr. Lennon Sorzano, Office Manager.The annual poppy distribution honours Remembrance Day and helps support living veterans, ex-servicemen and their families through the proceeds raised. Remembrance Day marks the anniversary of the Armistice signed between the Allied Powers and Germany, which took effect at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918, bringing the fighting of the First World War to an end. First observed in 1919 across Great Britain and the Commonwealth, Remembrance Day provides an opportunity to honour the service members who lost their lives in the First and Second World Wars.
