Sammy was born January 8, 1941, in Alcolu, SC, a son of the late Samuel Mayes Pringle, Sr. and Mildred Elizabeth Kennedy Pringle. He graduated from Edmunds High School in Sumter, SC in 1959, and completed his education in 1963, graduating from The University of South Carolina, College of Pharmacy, in Columbia, SC.
He spent his life as a pharmacist in the following SC towns: Manning, Sumter, Clinton, Florence, Kingstree, Pawleys Island, Surfside Beach and Garden City, retiring in 2020. He loved pharmacy and was well respected in his profession. Family gatherings were his passion, whether taking a family trip, getting together for special occasions, or simply meeting for a meal. One of his favorite memories that he spoke of often was eating lunch on the rocks along the mountain streams in North Carolina. He spent his leisure time as an avid fan of the University of SC Gamecocks, the Atlanta Braves, and the Boston Red Sox.
Sammy was very dedicated and devoted to his family, which was of the utmost importance to him. He leaves behind his wife of 60 years, Brenda, as well as his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. They have three daughters: Cassandra Gamble Smith (Steve), Debbie Pringle Buford (Tony), Lisa Gamble Smith (Lewis), and their son, Samuel Boyd Pringle. There are four granddaughters: Kerri Cassandra Smith Oates (Bentley), Merrit Mayes Smith Yahnis (Charles), Lisa Marlena “Marley” Smith Carlton (Lucas), and Lillian Taylor Pringle Helms (Christan) and one grandson, Winston Brooks “Winn” Smith. The family also includes one great-granddaughter and four great-grandsons. Sammy has one brother, Charles Gary Pringle (Dolores) of Summerville, SC, as well as one niece, two nephews, two great nieces and one great nephew. He will be missed by his beloved Shih tzu, Marshall.

My love and wishes for peace go out to Boyd, Brenda, Lisa and Cassandra. I thought a lot of Sammy, he always treated me with kindness. He was a warm and funny fellow, and I’ll always remember watching the Braves with him and Boyd. Blessings to you all.
Lisa and Cassandra, I was so sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. I never met him, but I could see what a sweet guy he was. And he had to be a dynamite father because he turned out two wonderful daughters. I hope the next days pass easily for you. Know you have all our love to get through them.
Brenda and family: So sorry to hear of the passing of Sammy. I have always enjoyed visiting with him at reunions and other gatherings and was always impressed with his commitment to you and your family. He was a gentleman of the first order, enjoyed his work and saw it as a means to be devoted to family. He was a blessing to be around and will be significantly missed.
Sending prayers for God’s comfort and peace for all of you. Sammy was a very special man and he will be missed. Much love,Sylvia
I had the pleasure of working with Sammy! He was the kindest and easiest person to work with and worked very hard! He was always fair and so fun. I will miss him
