Patricia Casale Pringle, 95, of Williamsport PA, passed peacefully unto our lord on December 13th at Kirby Pines Retirement Community in Memphis, TN , where she was a resident for the past 10 years.

She was born on July 5, 1928 in Williamsport, she was the daughter of Michael D. Casale and Esther A. Demmien.

She was a graduate of Williamsport High School "Class of '46", where she learned secretarial and clerical skills.   In June of 1949, Pat married Elijah ( Mickey) Pringle III, of Williamsport and they were married over 50 years.  Patricia was a very devoted wife, mother, grandmother and friend.

After high school, Patricia held several secretarial positions in the Northeast.  She then returned to Williamsport in the mid 1950's where she was co-owner in Demmien and Pringle Women's Wear Store on Fourth Street until the early 1970's.   Later she worked for the Williamsport Area School District for 20 years, retiring as assistant to the Business Manager.  She remained connected in the retirees' group for many years and well as her high school classmates of 1946. She was a longtime member and devotee of St Ann's Catholic Church.   After her retirement from the School District, she spent much of her time enjoying drawing, music, gardening and refinishing furniture and passed those passions on to her grandchildren.

In her later years, Pat remarried at 81, to Edward Higgins, of North Carolina and they lived in Williamsport for 2 years until his passing. In 2013, she moved to Kirby Pines Retirement Community so she could be near her daughter.
