Patricia was born on May 8, 1935 the only child of Stella A. (Dodge) and Varrell B. Alcott.

Patricia worked in various mill jobs throughout the years before being employed at the Stevens Girls School in Hallowell. It was during her time there that she completed her Associates Degree in Criminal Justice which was very important to her. When the Stevens School closed she became a Teacher’s Assistant at the Richmond Middle/High School. Patricia strongly believed in an education, especially the ability to read. Reading was a love for Patricia, she spent hours reading, completing a book in a day was no feat for her.
