It is with profound sadness and much love that we mourn the passing of Sophia Lambros,93 years of age. She resided at the Arlington Assisted Living in Naples, Florida.
She was educated in Nyack, New York, schools and went to Russel Sage College in Troy, New York for her teaching degree. Hunter College was where Sophia acquired her degree in school administration. While attending Russel Sage she was awarded entry into MENSA.
Sophia, as a master teacher, taught for more than 30 years in the North Rockland Central School District in New York. In her early years of teaching, she was also employed in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania schools.
Mrs. Lambros had a happy outlook on life and possessed a great sense of humor. She developed many friends over the years and if you were Sophia’s friend, it was for life. Certainly, she will be missed and remembered by many.
She was quite an artist and loved to paint. Her other hobbies were playing Bridge and reading. She was a voracious reader who met with her Book Club once a week while at the Arlington.
Sophia’s sense of adventure carried her to many places in the world. Before her marriage to Kyriocos, Sophia and her friends traveled to many destinations in the United States, Europe, the Caribbean, and the Middle East, but her favorite place was Bermuda. Travel was also an exciting adventure with Sophia.
Sophia, being faithful and adherent to her religion, while in New York was a member of Saint Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church, West Nyack, New York. After Sophia and her husband moved to Florida, they became members of Saint Katherine Greek Orthodox Church, Naples, Florida.
She leaves behind her Cousin Eleni Nesmith and her husband Johnny Nesmith, Christopher and Alexander Rotsettis, both godsons and her second cousins from her mother’s side.
