Patricia Hodgins

Patricia Hodgins is a retired Justice of the Peace with the Ontario Court of Justice and a former Manager of the London Centre Probation and Parole Office with the Ontario Ministry of Correctional Services. Over her career, she also served as a Probation and Parole Officer, gaining extensive experience in governance, programming, and community collaboration. A graduate of the University of Western Ontario, Patricia has dedicated her professional life to supporting individuals involved in the justice system and helping them work towards positive change.

Patricia has also contributed her leadership skills to community mental health, serving as Chairperson of S.E.A.R.C.H. Community Mental Health Association in Strathroy, which supported Middlesex County and is now part of CMHA.

Having worked closely with both service providers and the people they serve, Patricia has long admired the support offered by Mission Services of London. Upon her retirement, Patricia began volunteering at MSL’s Mission Store. Joining the Board of Directors felt like a natural next step in her ongoing involvement with the organization.

Patricia and her husband run a farming business near Lucan, where they raise beef cattle and grow field crops. She is the proud mother of three adult children and grandmother to seven wonderful grandchildren.
