TO the strains of Candle In The Wind and the release of twelve white doves, family and friends farewelled Adriana Xenides in Sydney's southwest this afternoon.
Her Wheel of Fortune co-host John Burgess was among the mourners at the moving Greek Orthodox service at Forest Lawn Cemetery, Leppington this afternoon.
The service was conducted by an emotional Father Nick, who was a close friend of her parents Dimitri and Consuelo since they arrived in Adelaide from Argentina when Adriana was nine.
He remembered her as a clever teenager and delightful woman who loved to dance the Spanish flamenco complete with castanets.
The small chapel was packed as her white coffin was brought in.
The small chapel was packed despite the fact she had requested a private service by invitation only.
Adriana’s service was organised by her three cousins in Sydney, the only family she had left apart from some relatives in England.
