Patricia Teresa Grant, 93, of Wiscasset, passed away March 25, 2026, at Langdon Place of Dover in Dover, New Hampshire, after suffering for several years from cardiac-related health issues.

She was born on May 31, 1932, in Jackman, Maine, the daughter of Ralph Gagnon Sr., and Lucille (Poulin) Gagnon. Pat was raised in a large French-Canadian family, with her early years being spent in Jackman. When her father began work with United Engineers, the family moved to Wiscasset, and later to Biddeford, and several other locations, including Vermont and Connecticut. Pat graduated from Willimantic High School in Willimantic, Connecticut in 1950.

On Sept. 28, 1957, she married Edward A. Grant, of Wiscasset. They spent eight years in Danbury, Connecticut before returning to Maine in 1964. Over the years, Pat worked for Connecticut Light and Power Company, St. Andrews Hospital, United Engineers, Fairfield State Hospital, W.T. Grant’s department store in Brunswick, and later the state of Maine’s Motor Vehicle Division in Augusta, where she retired in 1995. She was an active parishioner of St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church in Bath.

Pat loved to laugh. She was very close with her large, extended family, often having get-togethers and playing card games. She was dearly loved by them and everyone else who knew her. Family was very important to her. She had a strong devotion to her family and loved them all very much. She loved to bake and made the best chocolate chip cookies around. She also enjoyed sewing, crocheting, and especially reading.
