Born in Philadelphia, on February 8, 1962, she was a daughter of Stanley and the late Josephine (Ware) Pringle.

While still in high school, she was awarded a scholarship to attend Moore College of Art in Philadelphia on the weekends. At Moore, she enhanced her talent by learning formal artistic techniques. After graduating Valedictorian from West Philadelphia High School, Cheryle studied engineering and art at the University of Pennsylvania. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil and Urban Engineering in 1984.
Cheryle was a licensed professional engineer in Delaware and retired from a long outstanding career at Delmarva Power, where she was an engineering and business Manager. She was an entrepreneur and owner of Peach Blossom Creations, LLC, her online creative art and fashion doll clothing business.
Cheryle had served on the Delaware Chamber of Commerce, the Miss Utility of Delmarva Board of Directors, and the Delaware State Arts Council. She had served as Trustee/Treasurer of Shiloh Baptist Church of Wilmington, DE. She served on the Leadership Enrichment Arts Program (LEAP) Board of Directors. She was a 2006 Black Achiever, a Howard High School mentor, and a member of the Society of Women Engineers and the National Society of Black Engineers.
Cheryle is survived by her daughter, Britney Pringle; sisters, Marie Bey (Antoine), Lisa Young (James), and Michelle Pringle; uncles, Nathaniel Ware (Priscilla) and Richard Taylor, Jr. (Debi); several nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews; and her purr-fect feline companion, Jade.

I sincerely send my condolences on behalf of my entire Family to Britney and the entire Pringle Family, I am truly sorry for your loss.
While Cheryle was an Amazing Big Sister and Woman, gone too soon, I am grateful to be counted as one of the people who was Blessed to have been touched by her Love & Kindness. From my age of 16 to 55, I had the privilege of her calling me Brother, always had a word of encouragement, and she believed in me always. To me Cheryle embodied Mom Pringle’s whole Spirit, and now both their Spirits reside with Britney and the Family.
You both will always be missed, never forgotten and forever with us.
May God Comfort and keep the Pringle Family during your time of morning. (Sorry for being longwinded)
Love & God Bless

My heart is broken after losing my dear, dear friend, Cheryle. I still weep, for her every single day. We wrote each other a few times a week, and had shared a closeness that was precious to me. Stuart and I live in England, but when we visited the USA, we stayed at my sister’s home a few years ago and Cheryle joined us for lunch then. I’ll always remember how special she was and we shared so much that day. Both my husband and I loved her so. Goodnight, Sweet Angel. We shall miss you terribly, but you will always live forever in our hearts. Love, Marie & Stuart Bright

My Dearest Britney and Family, you have my deepest and sincerest condolences in the loss of your Mother. Cheryle is definitely one of God’s beloved Angels who has earned her wings. Cheryle was such a sweet loving and caring person. She will always be remembered and deeply missed. Psalms 121 tells you to Look to the hills from whence cometh your help and know that your help comes from the Lord. May the Lord provide you the comfort and strength that you need.
Blessings,
Carolyn and Family

My condolences and prayers go out to Cheryle’s family and friends. She was a joy to know and work with; a beautiful soul with a brilliant mind. I remember feeling sad when she retired; but I rather keep that sadness over this one. If she could positively impact me in the few brief years I knew her, I can only imagine how much she blessed the lives of those who knew and loved her much longer.
Fatima Lister
It was a pleasure to experience you while you were here. You were kind and loving to me from the moment I met you, even without out knowing me, that speaks to your character and loving heart. I pray you are at peace and that you watch over your family and help them find comfort in your absence. Send them your love while they wait to reunite with you again. Rest well beautiful soul.

I was saddened when I heard about the passing of Cheryle. Cheryle embraced me when I became employed at DPL years ago. She always had an encouraging word for me. There were times when we would have our belly laughs! She was very humble and easy to talk to. Cheryle saw things in me that I didn’t see in myself, and I will forever be grateful that our paths crossed.
Brittney, you are in my thoughts and prayers. (You have my #). You had a wonderful Mom and thanks for sharing her with us!
Vicky
I didn’t know her but I love the memories yall shared
