Martha Virginia Lang (Kimball) (Marti Covey) left us on Thursday, February 22, 2024. Marti was born in Grasmere NH on June 15, 1934. She was a loving and supportive daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and great-great grandmother. From early on in her life, she was always one to overcome the biggest of challenges such as surviving polio as a child and walking to talk about it.
Marti moved to NYC at an early age to be a NY Bell telephone operator but left on a whim when she received devastating news about her dad. She went home to help her mother care for her multiple young siblings. One of those siblings was her beloved sister Nancy who had brain trauma, yet Marti spent her entire life being there in every and any way for Nancy. Never far behind was the love, care and support she gave to her mom, Nancy Kimball–Willette. She is also predeceased by her sister Trudy, and brothers Charlie, Pat, and Dan. Marti was predeceased by Herbert W Covey Sr. and Robert J Lang.
Marti was a strong woman raising her 3 sons the best that she knew how and transitioned from a stay-at-home mom to obtaining a job with a Nashua area non-profit and from there she was determined to be the best she could. She obtained a new job with Digital Equipment Corporation where she honed her skills, education, and career until her retirement in the nineties. All the while enjoying some of her favorite pastimes such as country line dancing, astrology, trips to Boothbay Harbor and spending time with family, especially her grandchildren.
Marti is survived by her son, Herbert, and her daughter in law of 50 years, Dorraine, sons Daniel, and Jonathan. Grandchildren Anthony, Aaron, Jacob, Jordan, and Angela. Great grandchildren Alex, Alexis, Hannah, Abigail, Drew, Kohen, Bronson, Ethan, and her great-great grandson Bentley.
