She was born on May 31, 1932, in Jackman, ME, 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, CT, in 1950.

On September 28, 1957, she married Edward A. Grant, of Wiscasset. They spent eight years in Danbury, CT, before returning to Maine in 1964.

Grants department store in Brunswick, and later the state of Maines Motor Vehicle Division in Augusta, where she retired in 1995. She was an active parishioner of St. Marys 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 enjoyed sewing, crocheting, and especially reading.
