In memory of Georgia Dracopoulos

By Isabella Malesci

A beautiful wife, mother, daughter, sister, cherished friend, and teacher. Taken from us too soon, she was a force of nature; fearless, strong, generous, free-spirited, and always embraced life with a smile.

Chris O’Brien Lifehouse took such good care of our beloved Gina and we would like to pay our respects to the amazing staff who supported her throughout this journey.

To my treasured friend Gina, I’m deeply heartbroken knowing that you are no longer with us. You weren’t just a colleague to me, but a true friend, a confidant, a mentor and someone who always made me feel instantly better with your vibrant spirit, radiant smile, warmth and compassion and quick thinking ability to solve ANY problem. I will miss our daily conversations and laughter, but will be forever grateful for all the special and memorable moments we shared, going to nice dinners and comedy shows, Greek concerts, back to the 80’s dance parties, school trips to Europe, sporting events and lastly the Australian Open which was a highlight. Rest in peace my beautiful friend. You will always be forever in my heart. Sending my heartfelt condolences to your loving daughters Bella and Helena, Tony, Maria and family. Until we meet again.. Love your Tzinaki xxx

To Gina mou, agape mou, my precious and irreplaceable friend. I am totally bereft that you have departed us so suddenly and far, far too soon. I adored your direct, open and cheeky approach to life. I was in awe of your astounding intelligence and multifaceted talent. I was amazed at your multiplicity of connections, whereby you could access anything or anyone as needed. But most importantly, I cherished your ability to sense and reach out to soothe another’s profound pain, as when I lost my beloved soulmate, Andrew. At my most broken, it was your embracing arms and shower of kisses that lifted up my shattered soul. I know that Andrew has now welcomed you with open arms and his trademark, ‘Love you. Mean it!’ greeting. I will love you always and look forward to your welcoming smile when my time comes. ‘People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.’ Tha s’agapo gia panta, Mary.

Dearest Gina, there’s a huge whole in my heart without you here. Sitting with you for story-time is a joy I won’t forget and can’t believe I won’t experience again. The way you told stories was hilarious and charming. You were a sight to see when solving a problem because no one else’s mind twists the way yours could. Your relationships were reciprocal because you were trusting and positive and we couldn’t help returning the vibes. Your generosity had no limits because helping someone or just making them happy, it was all the same to you. The food on your desk, the clothes in your bag, your time – whatever you could give away, you did. Tony, Bella and Helena, I’m full of sorrow for your beautiful family. Gina, I’ll honour your life always and I’ll miss you forever. You were my favourite.

Georgia Athanasopoulos

Gina, Your kindness, authenticity and leadership was the warm embrace that will continue to give us comfort. It was a privilege spending time with you and seeing first-hand the impact you had on those around you, including me. You were my Deputy through high school and after that my Super Greek Principal. I will miss waltzing into your office everyday, seeing your smile and hearing you say “hello Miss Georgia!”. Your door was always open, you were always ready to listen and you always lifted everyone around you. While Dulwich will not be the same without you, the impact you had will last forever. Lots of love, Mechel, Peter, Thanasi and Georgia xx

To a beloved friend, mentor, sage of wisdom, and all rounder Super Greek Principal. Words cannot express how sad it is to no longer have you with us. You were truly an inspiration to all who knew you, and your love, care and support was felt by all around you. We are all so lucky, and so grateful to have had you in our lives, always making sure we were well fed, well rested, and always had someone to talk to in the darkest of days. You will always live on in our hearts and in our minds. It's impossible to forget an angel. καλό παράδεισο

Gina you were truly an extraordinary person—you always put others first, offering kindness and understanding without ever passing judgment. Your door was always open, and your heart even more so. It’s rare to meet someone like you who makes everyone feel heard and valued, and you did that effortlessly. Gina you were not just a friend, but a mentor and a guiding light in the lives of so many. The world feels a little dimmer without your presence, but the warmth and love you shared with all of us will never fade. You made a lasting impact on me, and you will always be in my heart.

My deepest condolences to Gina's family and close friends for your heartbreaking loss. Gina always had a calming presence and supportive attitude no matter how complicated a situation may have been. It was a great pleasure watching her, as a school leader, interacting so joyfully with students whether it be on the footy field or netball court, at school assemblies or in the playground. So sad to loose such a special soul.

Dearest Gina, since the day we met you were always kind, warm, welcoming and loved a good chat. Loved your humility and your ability to not always take life so seriously. You always helped me professionally and personally you were always there. And to Bella and family, I send my deepest condolences. I know the pain and hole that is left behind. But remember Gina wanted nothing more than having the best for you all. She loved you all so much and you were always her priority. She will always be with you, she will always be inside your hearts as you move forward in life. Sending so much love, Lids x

I have only known Gina for a few months through work. Very quickly it became clear to me what a beautiful person she was, how very humane, kind and gracious she was even in times which were very challenging for her. I will always remember her with great fondness and admiration. My sincere condolences to the family and those who knew her at Chris O'Brien Lifehouse.
