Efterpi Soropos, whose work ranged from lighting design for mainstage theatre productions to carefully designed spaces created to comfort the dying, has died unexpectedly aged 61.
Remembered as kind, generous, inspiring, insightful and talented, Soropos – Effe to her friends – died just before Easter.
She was born in 1962, in the regional NSW town of Moree, the first-born child of Stavros and Evangelia Soropos, who owned and operated a Greek café, the Omega, and later Moree’s first Greek takeaway, Cornelius Gourmet.
