Ilkay Orscuoglu, affectionately known to many as Kay, peacefully passed away on March 2, 2023.

She was born in Wiesensteig, Germany to Necla Kilci and Yilmaz Orscuoglu on September 28, 1966.

At a young age, Kay relocated to the United States and created her own successful American Dream. She enjoyed cooking for her family, listening to music out loud and dancing with her grandchildren. She had a strong passion for the elderly and disabled community and volunteered her time to serve them locally and internationally on mission trips. She was a member of North Point Community Church in Alpharetta, GA and dedicated her life to Christ in 2016.

Kay committed over 25 years of her life working retail and in telecommunications management on a district and regional level. Her exemplary leadership skills propelled her into several achievements and allowed her to impact numerous lives while creating life-long friendships. She was admired for her resilience, compassion, wit and fashionable style.

Whether you knew Kay for decades or for minutes, her presence was unforgettable. Her wisdom, her passion, and the sound of her laugh was contagious. Kay is survived by her loving mother, Necla Orscuoglu; her daughters, Meka Miller and Jordan Mills; her grandchildren, Jayden Nicholas, Leyla Smith and Elijah Smith; her brother, Alpay Orscuoglu; her sister-in-love, Mehtap Orscuoglu and her nephews, Kaan Orscuoglu (his wife Cidem Orscuoglu) and Kubilay Orscuoglu.

She was preceded in death by her father, Yilmaz Orscuoglu. She will be forever cherished and remembered by family and friends.

  4. CandleImageA leader of leaders in so many ways. The determination, passion, and conviction in how Kay lived her life at home and work inspired the already-inspired! She was the next level leader no one can catch up to – even now that she is in Heaven and probably already working on a project there! You were my peer, my cohort, and my sister. Everyone leaves this world. But not anyone leaves a legacy. You have, my dear Kay, and have done it …eternally.

  11. CandleImageMy Soul Sister we went through so much together. I will cherish each and everyone of our memories. From working at Sprint Connect together to you moving to Florida. To me getting you a job at Staples. I’m forever grateful we met. I will try to live like Kay but those are some super huge shoes. You taught me true friendship, showed me sincere love, and I’m so honored I got to call you Best Friend/sister. My heart is a little empty without you. We will see eachother again. I will watch over Meka and JJ like you asked. I miss you my Angel. I love you Forever.

  12. CandleImageMy dear Ilkay Hala.

    “You know it’s not the same as it was”, without you it will never be the same again. This song will forever be our song and I will forever remember you.
    I will also always remember our last conversation where you inspired me to do whatever I want to do in this life.
    I hope that you are now dancing and singing in heaven with your father and my grandpa.
    You will always be in my heart…seni seviyorum ❤️🙏🏼

    On a cloudy afternoon
    Gone too soon”
    Ilkay Hala you have gone too soon.
    Unfortunately, we didn’t have much time to spend together. But the days we had together will always be remembered.
    Thank you for the beautiful words you said to me during our last conversation. I am glad that I can listen to these voice messages at any time.
    We miss you and always have you in our hearts. And every time we dance we think of you.
    Seni cok seviyoruz 🤍

  14. Because of YOU, I have Meka and those babies apart of our world. Because of YOU, I am inspired. Because of YOU, I have strength. Because of YOU, I have courage. Because of YOU Kay, I will remain “humbled” and carry it with “grace.” The two words I will forever remember and what you left me with. Thank you 🙏🏾

  15. I love you Mama Kay and thank God for the opportunity to meet you, via your voice, your spirit, your light. Rest well and in total peace. I know how much you loved Meka and all your Grandbabies and it was admirable. I love that you loved God…and that He loved you. You will be missed. Love, Nerissa
