Pastor Patricia Pringle Passed Away at 71

Patricia Ann Pringle, a spiritual teacher in Havre de Grace for more than 40 years, passed away Jan. 25. She was 71 years old.

Pringle came to Havre de Grace in 1971 and founded the Evangelistic Church of Deliverance (325 Saint John St.), according to her obituary.

The church was "a ministry of the heart," Pringle told The Aegis in 2011.

It was Pringle's idea for the church to provide Thanksgiving dinner for Aberdeen's hungry, a tradition that has been going on for approximately 20 years, The Aegis reported.

Visitation for Pastor Patricia Pringle will be from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Feb. 2, at Bethel Apostolic Church (21 N. Earlton Road). The funeral service will be at noon. Burial will take place in Chestertown at 11 a.m. Monday.
