Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryJEAN RYBACK
With deep sadness we announce the passing of Jean, at 89 years of age, on March 20, 2025, at St. Boniface Hospital, with family by her side. She will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her. Left to mourn her passing are her son Ken (Tanis), granddaughters Shantel and Jaclyn, daughter Angela, sister Marge Belsham, sister-in-law Verna Kozie, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Jean was predeceased by her husband Mike Ryback, infant brother Mernie, brother Clarence Kozie, brother-in-law Charles Belsham, and parents Antonia and Steve Kozie.
Jean was born and raised on the family farm in Hazelglen, MB. In 1951, she married Mike, and in 1955, they settled in Transcona. Throughout her career, she worked at various restaurants, Woolworths, and Woolco, but she was especially proud of her time managing the Red Grill at Woolco.
A devoted member of St. Michael’s Parish and the Ukrainian Catholic Women’s League for the past 70 years, Jean cherished the friendships she made within her parish community, particularly the social events and perogy making. She had a passion for travel, with Hawaii holding a special place in her heart, and found joy in cooking, baking, gardening, and, most of all, spending time with her granddaughters.
The family extends sincere thanks to the compassionate staff at Concordia and St. Boniface Hospitals for their care and support during this difficult time.
The service will be held Wednesday, March 26 at 10:00 a.m. at St. Michael’s Ukrainian Catholic Church (Day St. and Yale Ave E in Transcona), with reception and entombment to follow.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jean’s memory to St. Michael’s Ukrainian Catholic Church or a charity of your choice.

My sincerest condolences to Kenny and Angie and their families. I remember your mom, and dad very well. Though I am saddened to hear of your mom's passing I am flooded with memories of all the best neighbours on the best block on Melrose Avenue. - Posted by: Susan Richardson (Nelson) (Neighbour) on: Mar 22, 2025

Mrs. Ryback, You were the best neighbor anyone could have asked for: always kind, always ready with a cake, and always there for us. Thank you so much for your kindness and your friendly smile. You and Mike were always watching over us, cheering us on, and encouraging every adventure. You were always there when I rang the doorbell on my trips home. I will always cherish those memories of you and Mike on the beach in Hawaii, and I am so grateful for all the treats, the flowers from your yard, and the laughs we shared. Though you are gone, your presence in our lives will never be forgotten. - Posted by: Janice Maslanko (Former resident of Transcona daughter of Bill and Margaret Maslanko) on: Mar 22, 2025
