Tricia L. Briggs

CHELSEA – Tricia L. Briggs, 52, a loving mother, devoted daughter, and proud grandmother, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, July 26, 2025, due to complications from surgery.

Born in Augusta, Maine, on April 12, 1973, Tricia spent most of her life in the charming town of Chelsea, Maine. She was a woman of many talents, blessed with a creative flair that was evident in all aspects of her life. From her unique baking creations to her stunning garden that was the envy of her neighborhood, Tricia had a true gift for turning the ordinary into something extraordinary.

Tricia was a loyal and dependable friend, always there to lend a helping hand or offer a comforting word. She spent her career as a caregiver, a role that perfectly reflected her nurturing and selfless nature. Whether tending to children, supporting friends, or helping family members, Tricia’s compassion knew no bounds. Her love and care touched everyone around her. That same caring spirit carried into her hobbies. She found immense joy in wildlife watching and feeding, camping, and four-wheeling. Her adventurous soul often led her to the ocean, where she captured nature’s beauty through her photography. Tricia also had a special talent for baking and crafts- pouring love into every creation. Whether it was a batch of homemade cookies, some homemade jam, or a fun craft, everything she made turned out beautifully and brought joy to those around her. These were the moments she cherished most, especially when shared with her beloved family and grandchildren.

Tricia was preceded in death by her father, Clifford Briggs Jr.

She is survived by her mother, Ruth Briggs; her three children, Allison Hoda and husband Ryan, Morgan Bergeron and husband Eric, and Joseph Barry; and her siblings, Ulanda Robinson and husband Paul, along with their children Autym and Nicholas; Mitchell Briggs and wife Crystal, and their daughter Addyson; and Angela Hatch and her children Ruel and Elyssa. She also leaves behind five beloved grandchildren, Olivia, Sophia, Colton, and Elijah Bergeron, and Wesley Hoda, who were the light of her life.

Her passing leaves a void that will be impossible to fill, but her loving, loyal, creative, and talented spirit will be remembered and cherished by all who were fortunate to know her.
