Güner (Görgün) Çilesiz ACG 50 passed away peacefully at home on January 17, 2026. Following ACG, Güner studied English philology at Istanbul University and eventually taught English to international relations majors there for many years. After raising two daughters with her husband Ayhan and retiring, traveling all over the world with him and socializing with her friends, including her ACG classmates, became her main hobbies.
Güner was a determined, talented woman who excelled at whatever she put her mind to. Observant, resourceful, and fiercely loyal to her friends and family, she rushed to their aid whenever needed. She treated everyone with respect and had little tolerance for arrogance. Even as she was robbed of her memory in recent years, she remained adept at logical thinking, considerate of those around her, and appreciative of their support. She was true to her core until the end.
Rest in peace, Mom. You will live in my heart forever.
Yeşim Çilesiz Richardson RC 84
