Zybe Shahaj Obituary (1943 - 2026) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

It is with deep sorrow, yet wide gratitude for a life uniquely lived, that we announce the passing of Zybe Shahaj, born Zybe Troka, on January 24, 2026. Zybe was born in the picturesque town of Fier, Albania, on December 29, 1943, and later moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where she made her life and home. Zybe was a woman of extraordinary strength and grace, who touched the lives of everyone she met. As a homemaker, she created a warm and loving environment that was the heart and soul of her family. Her home was not just a physical structure, but a sanctuary of love, laughter, and comfort. Zybe's legacy of love and strength lives on in her children: Luanesha Frasheri (Mihal), Ylli Shahaj Moza), and Manushaqe Shahaj (Haralambos). She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Selman and Xhevaire Troka. Each family member carries with them a piece of Zybe's spirit, her warmth, her wisdom, and her unparalleled love. We invite all who knew and loved Zybe to share their memories of her, upload photos and celebrate her life on her memorial page. In this way, we can all help to keep her beautiful spirit alive, honoring the remarkable woman she was and will always be in our hearts.
