The mother seemingly exposed to alchemy a lot must have tried it herself
sometime. If anyone could be an alchemist that is. She might have been a state
alchemist once who knows? If she was an alchemist she could have been a little
help to Edward and Alphonse.

Could the Elric brother's mother have been an alchemist?


Taking a look at the [wikia page](http://fma.wikia.com/wiki/Trisha_Elric), the
brothers " **would always try to cheer her up with their alchemy**. In fact,
Alphonse once said that their mother's happiness was part of the reason that
they continued their research in alchemy because it made her smile. However,
they didn't realize that she smiled because **it reminded her of Hohenheim and
his own talents in alchemy**."

So as lentinant said, no.

There is no canon evidence that points directly towards it however it is never
stated that she didn't know anything about alchemy either; so if you'r
headcanon is that Trisha was an alchemist it's not 100% unrealistic, just
slightly unlikely.
