Patricia J. Kovacs, 78, of Henniker, New Hampshire passed away peacefully at Hillsboro House in Hillsborough, NH on April 1, 2023. Patricia was born in Trenton, New Jersey. She was the only child of Elizabeth and Joseph Kovacs.

She worked 20 years for the State of New Hampshire as a social worker, first in the Department of Health and Human Services and later for the Department of Corrections, eventually retiring in 1995. 

Patricia was always willing to help others throughout her life. She assisted her parents, her children and her grandchildren when they needed help along the way. She aided the elderly in her community with rides, shopping, housekeeping and companionship. Patricia loved her dogs Herkimer, Markus, and Scruffy. She enjoyed gardening, cooking, and traveling with her husband Lee. She especially relished the time spent with her grandchildren. 

She will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Patricia is survived by her current husband Lee Martin, her former husband William F.
