Yıldız Geyer Belger passed away in October 2025.
Some names highly befit the person carrying that name and the person integrates with the name. Just like my dear friend Yıldız. She was one of the most diligent students of not only our class, but also of our school. She kept this diligency in life as well. In addition to being a good wife, mother and an individual, her diligence, honest and trustworthy personality made her the apple of the eye of the the NGOs. Who knows how many woman and children she has touched with her projects, of which Mevlana Houses was one? Our friendship continued in Izmir after school. Taking our driver’s licences when we were very young, our bazaar trips, the funny incidents we experienced at her own boutique “Ödül”, and our class trips. They all stayed in our memory and we will keep you alive among us with these memories. We wish that the light you have radiated into our milieu while you were with us, will also illuminate you at the place you are now, dear Yııldız. Fatoş Berkay Oktav
Our dear Yıldız, when you went away and left us behind, it was as if it became all empty around here. You were very beautiful, very diligent, very intelligent. You had the disposition of a leader. How can we ever forget? You are in our hearts. Sevin Okyay
I first met Yıldız in Special 1, at Miss Bixler’s section. She was the one who always drew the Christmas pictures that stayed for one year in Miss Becky’s class. She was clever. The world was a much nicer place with her. Her absence is unbelievable. Nur Bilimer
Our dear Yıldız, with your brooches on all our chests, exhilirated arm-in-arm photographs from our trips, all those shared moments, our fashion show on the Van train, the gifts you have prepared for us on our 40th, 50th years… they’re all with us and you are always with us. Seres Başak Ener
Her husband Uğur Belger (RC ENG 61) passed away just 2 months after. They are survived by their loving children Sumru Belger Krody and Seymen Belger and grandchildren Alara Belger and Papatya Belger Krody
