Some people make you feel seen. Some people make you feel valued. Some people change your life. Mrs. Angel Whorton did all three.
As a founding staff member & intervention specialist at the I PROMISE School in 2018, Angel dedicated her life to loving, understanding, and advocating for students who needed her most. Her bright spirit, contagious smile, and unforgettable hugs made every person around her feel seen and valued. One of our students once described her perfectly as the “best part of my day, every single day.”
After years of courageously battling breast cancer, Angel’s strength, hope, and love continued to inspire everyone around her. As we celebrated her life this past weekend, we are reminded that her impact will live on through the countless students, families, and colleagues who were fortunate enough to know her. Her name was Angel, and she truly lived up to it, bringing light, love, and hope to every person whose life she touched.
Thank you, Angel, for showing us that the impossible is possible. You will forever be part of the I PROMISE family. 💙
