Rev. Salina E. Satchel-Nearon

Rev. Salina E. Satchel-Nearon, 70, of Alpharetta, GA peacefully transitioned from this life and went to meet Christ Jesus on December 12, 2019. Salina was born on August 4, 1949 to Edmund R. and Leonila Cortez-Satchel, in Cleveland, OH. She accepted Christ at an early age. She attended East Technical High School and Ashland University. Salina later married Ronald E. Hayes, Sr. and out of their union, three children were born: Kimberly, Ronald, and Aaron. Salina proudly worked in Warrensville Heights City Schools and The Warrensville Heights Board of Education for several years, where she later retired in 1995. Salina was always an advocate for those in every community she lived in. She answered her call to ministry in 1995 and immediately began serving her community. This call later led her to become certified as an ordained minister on June 2, 2001 with The Bride of Christ Ministries, Columbus, OH, and a Chaplain at the Cleveland Clinic, where she served for many years. Salina was an Associate Pastor at Aldersgate United Methodist Church. While on staff, Salina also launched a Domestic Violence Support Program through the church. In her spare time, Salina enjoyed singing in the church choir, dancing, and shopping. She loved her family and her friends. She did not meet a stranger and would literally give you her last dollar. Salina was a wonderful cook and was famously known for her gumbo, fried chicken and brisket. Salina was preceded in death by her loving parents Edmund and Leonila Cortez-Satchel, her siblings Sandy, Sherman (sister-in-law Beverly), Shirley, and previous husbands, Ronald Hayes Sr., Fred Ledger, George Wilcox and husband Charles Nearon. She leaves to cherish her memory, her daughter, Kimberly Kellogg, and sons, Ronald (Aishah) Hayes, and Aaron (Tara) Hayes; her brother, Serafin (Nancy) Satchel; sister-in-law, Gwen Satchel; seven grandchildren, Lindsey Kellogg, Ashley Hayes, Autumn Hayes, Ronald Hayes Jr., Ryan Hayes, Aaron Hayes, Jr., and Karsyn Hayes; three precious great-granddaughters; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, in-laws, and friends. Salina leaves a legacy of service and love and she will be sorely missed. Visitation will be held at E.F.
