Rose Ryba Turner, lifelong resident of Stamford, CT, passed away on the morning of Wednesday, March 26, 2014, at the age of 95. She was born September 20, 1918 to the late George and Helen Ryba. Rose attended Stamford schools and graduated Stamford High School with the class of 1936. After graduation, Rose went to work for Pitney Bowes. During that time she met and married her beloved husband Robert, and they raised two boys, Bob and Bill. When her boys were old enough, she returned to work with her husband at Machlett Laboratories. After Robert's death in 1960, Rose found her new career working in the mortgage department of State National Bank, and through several name changes, eventually consolidating into Bank of America. She enjoyed her work very much, and was a loyal and dedicated employee over the course of her long career at the bank. Rose was a faithful parishioner of St. Mary R.C. Church in Stamford, and a proud member of the Rosary Society there. She was also a longtime member of the Catholic Daughters of America and the Darien YMCA, where she enjoyed exercising in the pool on a regular basis. Rose is survived by her two sons and daughters-in-law; Bob and Linda Turner, of Norwalk, and Bill and Sharon, of Utica, MI, her four grandchildren; Bob, Stacy, Dawn and Jack, and her two great grandchildren; Brandon and Joey.
