East Bridgewater, Mass., and Brockton, Mass.She is predeceased by her husband David Joseph Alger of East Bridgewater, Mass. She leaves behinddaughter Sarah Alger, son-in-law Lee Williams, granddaughter Sylvie Williams, and grandcats Louie and
Leo, of Wakefield, Mass.

One of her proudest achievements was bringing back to livability a ramshackle late-1600s house with her husband in East Bridgewater. Her greatest joys were watching musicals (having seen scores on Broadway and in London's West End) and solving Will Shortz crossword puzzles.

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in Patricia's name to the MGH Fund.
