Obituary of Ryleigh Jean Trybula

Ryleigh J. Trybula, one year old, blonde-haired, blue-eyed daughter of Dylan and Victoria (Woods) Trybula, passed away on Easter Sunday, April 9, 2023, at Memorial Hospital in South Bend, following a very brief illness.   

She was born in Niles, Michigan on March 10, 2022. Ryleigh immediately started showing her bold personality, although tiny, she had a loud voice. It was very obvious, as she grew, that she would be the “boss”. Her bright smile lit up the room. Ryleigh loved her big sister, Addison. Her favorite foods were spaghetti, pizza, and pickles. She loved rolling around on, and playing with the family dog, Finley.

Ryleigh was her mom’s sidekick, her daddy’s joy, and her sister’s best-friend in the making.

She was preceded in death by her great-grandmother and name’s sake, Beverly Jean Thomas, and great-grandmother, Brenda Rottensteiner, along with many other special loved ones.

Ryleigh is survived by her parents, Dylan and Victoria Trybula of Niles, her sister, Addison; her cousins, Olivia, Hunter, and Ellis; grandparents, Alan and Robin Love of South Bend; Sonya Listenberger of Niles; Brad and Melanie Woods of Niles; aunts, Allison (Tyler) Cross, Hannah Walker, Holly (Sean) Walker; uncles, Christopher Listenberger, Cameron Listenberger; great-grandparents, John Rottensteiner, Dale and Geraldine Woods, Mike and Marsha Ellis; along with a host of extended family and friends.

A time of visitation will be held from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, on Monday, April 17, 2023, at Brown Funeral Home & Cremation Services, 521 E. Main St, Niles.

Memorial contributions in Ryleigh’s memory may be directed to mom or dad for future education for her sister, and future sibling.

The family would like to extend their gratitude to the staff at Memorial Hospital, especially the PICU Team for their tremendous efforts to save Ryleigh’s life.
