Patricia C. Kirby, 76, left this earth to be with her Heavenly Father,
Sunday, April 11, 2021. She was born in Lakeland, FL. She was one of eight
children born to Alvin and Rita (Francis) Main. The family moved to
Portsmouth, where she was raised. She graduated from Portsmouth High
School. She met her husband Richard while he was stationed at Pease Air

Francisco for six years. They moved back to New Hampshire in 1971 and
settled in Thornton where they lived until moving to Hebron in 2006.

For over 40 years Patricia ministered to children as a Sunday School
teacher. Together with Richard they ministered to residents at the Peabody
Home and Mt. Ridge Health Care Center and always sought to encourage
and support others in their faith in God.

for family and friends, entertaining, and playing cards with her grandchildren.

warm and relaxing destinations and loved the lakes and mountains of New
