NANCY DAHILL KOVACS, 85

MACON, GA. - Nancy Haviland Adams Dahill Kovacs, 85, of Macon, Georgia, died on Thursday, February 23, 2012, of complications due to a medical procedure associated with a long illness.
Born September 15, 1926, in Charlottesville, Virginia, she was the daughter of Ordway Samuel Adams and Ruth Eliza Bedell Adams. Nancy attended Roanoke College and married Carroll Paul Dahill in 1948, with whom she raised five children. She and her family eventually settled in Winter Haven where Carroll died in 1973. Nancy married Joseph Kovacs in 1976, and together they lived in both upstate New York and New Smyrna Beach, Florida, where Joe died in 1997. Nancy was a graduate of the University of South Florida and worked for many years as a medical technologist at Amsterdam (NY) Memorial Hospital.
In the 1950s and 1970s, Nancy was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Winter Haven, where she was active in the Guild and volunteered with the parish Girl Scouts troop. Nancy was also a member of Our Lady Star of the Sea (New Smyrna Beach) for many years, where she served as a Eucharistic minister and president of the Council of Catholic Wom-en. In Macon, Nancy was an active member of St. Joseph Catholic Church, where she attended daily Mass and volunteered with Family Advancement Ministries until illness limited her involvement.
She is survived by her son William (Red) Dahill and his wife, Debbie (of Viriginia); daughter Mary and her husband, Doug Pearson (of Georgia); and daughter Cathie and her husband, Bob Zanella (of Palm Coast); grandchildren Kim (and Calvin) Bragg, Chris Dahill, Nathan Dahill, Caroline Pearson, Elizabeth Pearson, and Garrett Pearson; five great-grandsons; her husband Joe's daughter Judy Connors (and her three children and their families) and son Joseph Kovacs (and his three sons and their families); and many devoted nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, husbands Carroll and Joe, daughter Diane Sutton, son Philip Dahill, and sisters Judy Foley and Sally Cooke.
Funeral services will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, March 3rd, at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Winter Haven with burial to follow at Lakeside Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorials be made to Heartland Hospice (200 Northside Crossing, Macon, 31210) or the donor's favorite charity.
