Irene Lucille Hubert

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Irene (Gagnon) Hubert, Age 87, of 30 Colby Court, who left us peacefully on March 11, 2025, surrounded by her loving family. She was our guiding light and source of endless love.

Irene, born in Lewiston, Maine, was the daughter of Lucienne (Baril) Gagnon and Laurier Gagnon, and attended schools in Maine and New York. She was a devoted caregiver and a source of strength and warmth for her family. She was a kind and generous soul, always putting others first. She was the heart of our family, always there to listen, encourage, and support, whether giving advice or a warm and friendly hug.

She last worked as a banquet chef at Clarion Somerset Hotel in Nashua New Hampshire. She also conquered a predominantly men's environment by working her way up the ladder as a trainer and assistant manager at Grossman's Lumber Co in Concord NH, where she began as a cashier and then lumber broker.

Irene was a member of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, and associate member of Three Links Visual Recourse, Inc. (formerly the New Hampshire Eye Bank), the Sunset Club of Concord, and a member of the Bow Young at Heart Club. She was a volunteer caregiver for the New Hampshire Hospice of Concord and volunteered in the Woman's Fire Auxiliary. Irene also wintered for many years in Deltona, Florida, visiting friends and relatives.

Her husband of 61 years, George Hubert, passed away in 2017. She was a devoted mother to her three surviving daughters, Diane Hubert Laramie of Pembroke, NH, Marilyn (Lyn) LeBrun Barbuito (married to Anthony Barbuito) of Deland, Florida, and Janice Barry Washer (married to David Washer) of Deland, FL. She instilled in them the values of kindness, compassion, and perseverance. Irene was very a devoted Grandmother, cherishing her nine surviving grandchildren, Christopher LeBrun, Melissa Laramie Demers, Craig Laramie, Kelly Barry Haken, Joe Barry (married to Ashley Barry), Julie Barry, Lisa Barry, Nicole Barry, and Justin Pietsch (married to Kaylee Pietsch), and her twelve great-grandchildren, leaving behind a legacy of love, laughter, and countless memories.

Calling hours will be held on Saturday, March 15th at Phaneuf Funeral Homes & Crematorium, 250 Coolidge Avenue, Manchester, NH from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM with a brief Catholic service starting at noon. A private burial will be held at the New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen, New Hampshire later in the year.
