More than 125 volunteers gave time from their holiday to make Thanksgiving just a little better for others on Thursday at five different sites throughout the county.

One of the citizens most noticed by her absence was Mae Salters who started a Thanksgiving dinner for the needy, and those without a place to go, 16 years ago.


Salters died earlier this month but was not forgotten as several pictures of her dotted the G.O. Development Corp. stage while her son Isaiah jammed with another musician while area residents ate a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

“We dedicated this to my wife who was the author of this,” John Salters said of the event.

John Slimmer, of Saybrook Township, said he is not able to help on a weekly basis but was more than happy to come out on Thanksgiving.

“Just trying to help,” he said while directing people through the food line. He was one of 40 volunteers assisting at G.O. Development Corp.

Mae Katherine Salters, 61, passed away Thursday, November 6, 2014 at the Ashtabula County Medical Center.

She was born July 12, 1953 in Little Rock, AR, the daughter of Ethel Mae Yancy and James Harris and was later adopted by Jerry and Elnora (Payne) Moore who raised her.

A 1972 graduate of Ashtabula High School, she attended Ohio State University where she studied Home Economics.

Mae had been a part-owner of Bestway Fashions, owner of Hem of His Garments, a seamstress for Globe Bell, and also worked for Molded Fiberglass and Premix.

A founder of Ghana Outreach Ministries and GO Community Development Corporation, she established the soup kitchen and food pantry at their facility, as well as organized the annual Thanksgiving Dinner and Christmas Party for the needy in the community.

She was graced with an impeccable gift of vocal artistry. Her singing was heard at numerous church functions, services, funerals, and other events, mostly known for her renditions of “I Won’t Complain” and “One Day at a Time.”

Mae will long be remembered for her giving nature and selfless sacrifice, always looking to do for others before thinking of herself. Her passing will be a loss to countless family, friends, and strangers whose lives giving nature and beautiful voice have touched.

She leaves to cherish her memory her husband, Bishop John Salters; three children, Andrea Ridgeway-Holland of Cleveland Hts., Sanders “JR” (Jameela) Ridgeway of Columbus, and Isaiah R. Salters of Ashtabula; two step-children, Kenya (Garreth Carrington) Salters-Gordon and John Salters, Jr., both of Cleveland; six grandchildren, Kenyante, Arieanna, Tiahne’, Tavian, Andre, and Jamere,; three sisters, Delois Jean (Michael) Terry, Gail Yvonne Wallace, and Diana Gail (LC Davis) Lamar-Davis; and a host of nieces, nephews, and extended family and friends.

She was preceded in by death her parents; one brother, Thomas Wayne; one sister, Vernitter Ann Patterson.
A service will be held 11 AM Saturday, November 15, 2014 at Gateway Church, 2300 Austinburg Road, Austinburg. Elder Carl Salters, Pastor of Solomon’s Temple COGIC will officiate with her nephew, Rev. Carlos Wallace, Pastor of Word of Truth Christian Fellowship, delivering the eulogy. Burial will be in Ohio Western Reserve National Cemetery, Rittman, OH.

Calling hour will be at the church on Friday, November 14, 2014 from 5 to 8 P.M. and on Saturday from 10:30 AM until the hour of service.

Contributions may be made to the family.

We here at G.O. Community Development Corporation are saddened to hear of the passing of Founder and Director First Lady Mae K. Salters. Mae was a well known and respected woman in Ashtabula County. Her smile could brighten up a room, and her voice was very powerful. She will deeply be missed. Please send your condolences to the Salter's family at this time.
