Promis Ellen Merryman-West, age 21, of Clinton, passed away Monday, July 19, 2021 at Spartanburg Regional Medical Center.

Promis was a free spirit who loved her family dearly, she loved children and had a very trusting heart. She moved to South Carolina to get away from some of the negative influences in her life. She was thriving and shining bright once again when tragedy struck. She will never be forgotten and always be remembered as the sweet little girl who wanted to help anyone in need. So fly high my sweet little angel. We love and miss you and will cherish every moment spent in this life.
