Yellow Rose Recipients
2023
Yellow Rose
The annual Yellow Rose Day coincides with International Women’s Day, a day when Zonta recognizes inspirational women. Members of Zonta nominate women who have mentored or supported them. A single yellow rose, the symbolic gesture from Zonta International for its efforts to improve the lives of women, is given to each recognized woman.
In 2023, we honored two wonderful and inspirational women.
Mary Przybyla
(nominated by Mikki Cole)
Mary Przybyla, rehabilitation specialist at Absolut Care of Allegany, was nominated by Mikki Cole for her tireless work as a physical therapist.
“Mary is an extraordinary women,” Ms. Cole said. “She goes out of her way to help the elderly she cares for. She will dress up and bring them special things to make their days better and fun, including bringing her curling iron to curl the residents’ hair so they feel good about themselves.”
Mary is seen here with a resident at Absolut Care. The resident is holding a rabbit as part of her therapy.
