Irene Hryb McIsaac, 97, passed away peacefully at home on September 14, 2025. She was born on January 12, 1928, in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania to the late Michael and Mary Hryb. She was the beloved wife of the late John Herman McIsaac.

Irene was a passionate crafter including quilts, knitting and sewing as well as a talented home cook. Together with John she made home in Colonia, North Edison and Waretown New Jersey, before retiring to Singer Island Florida. Eventually, Irene and John moved to Oakton Virginia and shared a home with her daughter Patricia and her family.

She is survived by her children Patricia McIsaac (Kenneth Manning), Nancy Redford (Paul), Mary Shoener (Mark) and Daniel MacIsaac (Laura), grandchildren S. Tierney Manning (Esteban Villa-Turek), Evan Manning, Emma Redford and Matthew Redford.

A service to celebrate her life will be announced at a later date. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations are made the World Central Kitchen.

  1. Though I had the privilege of knowing Irene for only a short time, the warmth and grace she radiated left a lasting impression. We shared a lovely conversation during the wedding dinner of her granddaughter Tierney and my son Esteban—a moment of quiet connection amid celebration. In that brief exchange, Irene revealed a gentle spirit, a sharp mind, and a heart full of love for her family.
    Her presence was serene and dignified, and it was clear that she had lived a life rich in wisdom and kindness. I feel grateful to have met her, even if just for an evening, and I carry that memory with affection and respect.
    May her legacy continue to shine through those who loved her, and may she rest in peace.
