Irene Umrysz Obituary
She was born at home on Pequot Ave., Mystic, on Nov. 22, 1924, to the late Thomas and Lucinda (Whitman) Whittle. In her early years, the family moved to Whittles Farm on Noank/Ledyard Road to manage and run the farm. On Feb. 7, 1948, she was united in marriage to John E. Umrysz.
Irene attended Mystic Academy and graduated from Fitch High School in 1942. She attended Lawrence & Memorial Nursing School, graduating in 1945, upon which she went to work for the Stonington VNA, followed by the Pediatric Group until her retirement in the early 90's. Irene was a nurse of great compassion who cared for many generations of families.
Irene, along with her husband, John, owned and operated Yetter Road Tree Farm which was established in 1974. It gave Irene great joy to see the many families come to choose a Christmas tree.
Irene is survived by her husband, John Umrysz; son, Curt Umrysz and his wife, Honora; son, Gary Umrysz; son, Leon Umrysz; son, Timothy Umrysz and wife, Cathy; and son, Jeffery Umrysz and his wife, Michelle. Irene is also survived by her seven grandchildren, Sarah, Greg, John, Jaclyn, Thomas, McKenzie, and Morgan.
She was predeceased by her daughter-in-law, Dina Umrysz.
Her family will greet relatives and friends from 5 to 7 p.m. on Monday at the Dinoto Funeral Home, 17 Pearl St., Historic downtown Mystic. Burial will be private.

Mr. Umrysz-My wife and I were so saddened to hear that Mrs. Umrysz has passed away. As we get ready to return to Mystic for the Christmas holiday, I recall the many many years that we visited Yetter Tree Farm to tag our Christmas tree. While it became a tradition that our family always looked forward to, the best part of the tradition was seeing you & Mrs. Umrysz and the Umyrsz boys. Mrs. Umrysz was a wonderful and gracious lady and we will all miss her. Please know that we have you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
