I’m so sad to learn of Parthenia’s passing. I have known her since I was a very young girl. Spending so much time at her dad’s store. She has always had a loving and caring spirit. I love her. She will be missed by many. God bless her soul.
Mrs. Parthenia Satterwhite was a champion or education. Her mission was that everyone who was in her mist gained a meaningful lesson. She was a great role model for aspiring administrators and educators alike as she provided insight to us. Well Done Thy Good and Faithful Servant. The world was better because of you!
At 21 years old, I found an angel who led and guided me through my 33-year educational journey — my Principal, my mentor, my friend, and my mother figure. You were with me my entire adult life, leading with grace, wisdom, and love. I am truly blessed to have worked with such a dynamic woman whose love and support meant the world to me. Your impact shaped who I am today. With heartfelt love and gratitude from the entire Walker Family, we will forever be Team Satterwhite. 🕊️❤️

You were not only my neighbor, but one of my very best friend. Thank you for what you have done for everyone. Rest in power.
I was saddened to hear of Parthenia’s passing. We grew up together singing in the Youth Choir at Wesley United Methodist Church and being involved in progressive activities. We called her “Parky.” Because of my love for educators, she held an extra special place in my esteem. As evidenced by the loving tributes, so many people felt the same about her. My deepest condolences and prayers to her family and friends. I wish a Blessed Ascension to my friend and Soror, who was such a beautiful soul.
You taught me to read. You taught me basics of piano. You shared your pet cocker spaniels sandy and tandy with me. Most importantly you taught me that “I can”. You were a great teacher when you were 8 years old! Many thnx for all you did
for education in Richland County
My favorite principal of all time!! Thank you for everything you’ve instilled in me and for being just as wonderful you were in school and in public. A beautiful soul inside and out. Rest Easy Mrs. Satterwhite. You’ll be missed. 🤍🕊️

In Loving Memory of Parthenia Satterwhite
Parthenia Satterwhite was one of the first girls I met when we moved from Charleston to Columbia, in the mid-1960s. The friendship and growth we shared during that time remain deeply meaningful to this very day.
Though she is now flying high, I look forward to catching up with her one day to reflect on the laughter, the lessons, and the moments we cherished in our youth.
Parthenia, I know that you are cherished.
To her family, may the peace of God’s dove comfort and sustain you during this time of bereavement.
In PEACE
L. Oveta Glover
Prayers and condolences to the family and the many lives she touched with her beautiful light.
Parthenia was a gentle, compassionate friend and boss. Many times I would go to her to talk about personal problems and pray together. She would understand and try to help solve it. I will greatly miss her but she is in a much better place.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Satterwhite family. Ms. Satterwhite was an Educational Angel. Such a sweet spirit and caring person. She welcomed me with open arms to the Lower Richland cluster as Principal of Southeast Middle. A quick phone call to say “I’m checking on you” will forever be remembered. Rest well thy good and faithful servant. Your race is now finished!
I had the pleasure of knowing this wonderful woman for many years. Always the epitome of grace and kindness. She was a wonderful leader and the best role model for leadership. I am going to miss that sweet smile and your words of wisdom. You have inspired many and nestled many in your care as an educator. Your job is done here. Rest well thy faithful servant. You will be missed. 🙏🏾🙌🏾❤️❤️
It is with a heavy heart that I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family of the best principal I’ve had the honor of experiencing in this lifetime. Your unwavering kindness and willingness to instill nothing but the best in every child you encountered is truly a blessing l! The love both she and the PTO displayed to my mom and I when my dad passed away in 2007 will forever hold a special place in our hearts and with that being said we send love to your family and friends as the community has truly lost a gem!!
God Bless!

Sending our prayers and heartfelt condolences to the Satterwhite family. God has gained another Angel.
I had the privilege of working with Ms. Satterwhite while serving as a principal in Richland One as well as the Director of Elementary Education. Parthenia had an intense love for her staff, students, parents, colleagues, and her God. Her beautiful smile and awesome spirit will be greatly missed. Rest well my Soror.
Ms. Satterwhite’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her. She had a calming and reassuring manner. I had the honor to work with her for many years and she was beneficial to my growth as an educator. Sending my deepest condolences and prayers to her family.
From the Smiling Family to the Satterwhite Family-Our Deepest Condolences! She was the “Gentle Giant” in this Lower Richland Community. When my family and I moved to Columbia in 1997, I began teaching at Horrell Hill Elementary not ever having met Ms. Satterwhite in person. I had to step away for family a couple of years later but in between and after 3 more children who all became Eagles, I returned to the Hill in 2007. I am so thankful that God allowed her to touch each of our lives! She was not just my boss twice in a decade imparting knowledge and expertise in her profession, but she was also a friend and an encourager (I’m remembering the brief conversation I had with her a couple of weeks ago and this past summer). She was just like family to us. She gave all to the Lower Richland Community and no one can’t measure how much of all she gave. Although our hearts are heavy, I am comforted knowing that she is in a better place! I can praise God for her life as I lean on the Lord as my strength. From our heart to yours, Psalms 46:1
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” And “Only one life will twill soon be past, only what’s done for Christ will last.” taken from the poem by C.T. Studd. ❤️ and 🙏🏾
I am so saddened to hear of the passing of my friend, professional colleague and kindred spirit. The memories of the time we spent together learning, laughing and enjoying each other’s company will always be cherished and held close to my heart. You will be missed by all who knew and loved you. Your legacy of helping, cherishing others and always offering a helping hand will brighten the horizons of every one of the many that you touched along life’s way.
Those we have held in our arms for a little while, we hold in our hearts forever! Both of my boys were at Horrell Hill Elementary (Michael, Kevin Allison), and later on I had work at the school for a short time. Ms. Satterwhite was the most kind and sweet person. She always makes me feel welcome and important, when you were in her presence. The BEST principal ever!!!❤️ Cici Holt
I am so saddened to hear of your passing. It broke my heart when I received the call. You were a wonderful person, school leader and mentor to me and so many others. The words of wisdom, encouragement and support over the years will always inspire me and your legacy will live forever in my heart. Rest in peace my Horrell Hill principal. 💙❤️💙❤️

I am saddened to hear of Parthenia’s passing. Her gentle spirit, kind nature, and positive outlook have blessed so many, myself included. She influenced me greatly as an educator, and for that I will always be grateful. Rest well, Parthenia. I pray that her memory will be a blessing to all who loved her.
Condolences to the family. I was a senior at AC Flora when Parthenia was a junior and I remember her as being a serious student but a friendly, kind and sweet person. Based on the comments from everyone who knew her, she will be dearly missed.
Our sincere condolences to the family of Ms. Satterwhite. She was so kind and gentle to all. Our daughters attended Horrell Hill, and she made us feel like family. Praying for the family.
Our condolences to the Satterwhite family and friends as we pray God’s continued comfort, peace and strength during this journey of grief.

My sincere condolences to your family 🙏🏾 You were always so passionate about your work and truly a genuine soul❤️ Your spirit will live on in the community and in every office, hallway, playground, auditorium and and classroom at Horrell Hill Elementary school 🕊️ You will be missed dearly by every life you’ve touched throughout the years. Job well done ❤️
Parthenia: thank you for your friendship. I’ll cherish the AC Flora memories of studying together, the play we all collaborated and performed so well we surprised everyone and won the competition. Prom. Groucho’s. Band. Football. Basketball. McDonald’s. Wasn’t that a deuce and a quarter you whipped around town! Great memories with a great friend.
You always had a ray of sunshine along with that signature laughter. You possessed a deep love for your family, and loyalty for friends. I always admired your intellect and your laser sharp focus. I look forward to seeing you one day so we can have more laughs and adventures. Rest in Peace my friend!
I will forever cherish our childhood memories and laughter shared. May it carry your family through the difficult days ahead. Gone too soon!!
“Thenia” a genuinely kind and loving person. Always there for the family. I will cherish the many memories forever.

I was deeply saddened to hear of Ms. Satterwhite’s passing. She was such a kind and encouraging soul, always devoted to helping children and uplifting those around her. Her loving spirit and positive words made a lasting difference in so many lives, mine included. I will always appreciate her warmth, her guidance, and the gentle encouragement she shared through the years. She will be deeply missed, but her legacy of love and kindness will continue to shine in the hearts of everyone she touched.
Parthenia was a remarkable colleague and a truly special person. Although she was quiet, her presence in our principal professional development sessions was invaluable. When asked to share her insights, she always spoke with positivity and encouragement, inspiring those around her. Her contributions to our team and her uplifting spirit will be deeply missed; my heartfelt condolences to everyone who knew her.
Parthenia and I grew up in Wesley United Methodist Church. We sang in the children’s choir and enjoyed every minute of it. Being one month older than me, she was able to wear stocking before me. (running joke between us) She never let me forget it. When coming home to visit I would always attend Wesley so that I could see her. She was my friend, and I will truly miss seeing her during my visits to Columbia.
She was such a wonderful person. My daughter attended Horrell Hill Elementary and I thoroughly enjoyed the time we had there. She was supportive and listened to my concerns. Prayers to the family. 🙏🏽
She was one of my teachers at AC Moore in the 80’s. Wonderful person. Sending my condolences.
Although I relocated to a neighboring school district several years ago, I remember Ms. Satterwhite so very well. She was always a kind and gentle person who had a heart for the students and staff she led. She will be sorely missed…Rest Well Ms. Satterwhite✝️
My condolences to the family of Ms satterwhite
I met her at A C Moore School
I went to Horrell Hill Elementary. This was my principal. I will be praying for the family.
My sweet Soror, big sister, church family and friend, you are already sorely missed. I thank God for our last conversation. We both had the opportunity to say I love you! I’m was so fortunate to have had you in my life. I will forever cherish our memories and phone calls. I love you forever! You will always be my Parteencha!!!
Your Soror,
Portia Davis & Family ♥️
You were a leader, mentor and friend. You hired me at Horrell Hill Elementary and welcomed with opened arms. Thank you so much for your leadership and advice. You will truly be missed.
My condolences to the family.
I have fond memories of working together with Parthenia as elementary principals in Richland One. I will always cherish her sweet spirit. I send my heartfelt prayers and condolences to the family.
I’m so sad to hear the news of my neighbor at 1319 Maple St. She was the principal at Horrell Hill Elementary School which my Step-daughter attended. She always was a sweet loving gentle hearted lady. My condolences to her family. God bless.
It’s so sad for me here the saddest news. My neighborhood on Maple St. at 1319. I would see her many times at Horrell Hill Elementary School which my stepdaughter attend. I always appreciate her loving and kindness. She will truly be missed. My condolences for her Family. God Bless. ❤️🙏

My second mom away from home when I started school, but also the BEST principal as well as person in general! Impacted many of our lives and will never be forgotten , to her family I extend my unconditional love I had for her through these times to you. May God cover you all in his arms for comfort . #HorrellHillAlum❤️💙
I will remember Ms. Satterwhite for her love, devotion and support as principal. Our three children were blessed by her service when they attended Horrell Hill. She was an advocate for her students, staff and parents. Her labor of love will always be appreciated and never forgotten!
At the age of 37, I still remember how kind you were to me when I was 7. Rest in eternal peace.
My heartfelt condolences to the family. Ms. Satterwhite was such a true jewel. I’ll always remember her smile—it could light up an entire room. She was kind, compassionate, and genuine, always taking the time to support those around her. Her dedication as a leader and educator never wavered, and she inspired everyone she worked with to be their best. As a young teacher at Horrell Hill Elementary, she believed in me even when I doubted myself. Her encouragement to keep growing and continue my education gave me the confidence to pursue my dreams, and I’ll forever be thankful for that. She was a pillar in our community and an amazing leader who truly made a difference in so many lives. She touched my heart, as she did many others, and I will always honor her legacy. Love always, The Brown Family
May you rest in peace, my beautiful sister friend. I met you many years ago in the first grade at Waverly elementary school. You were then and always have been one of the sweetest spirits I’ve ever met in my life . You have made such an extraordinary impact on all that you knew. And that beautiful spirit will continue on…….
You will truly be missed!! 🙏🙏🙏
Ms. Satterwhite has had the greatest impact on my teaching career. When I first stepped through the doors of Horrell Hill Elementary as a practicum student from USC, I knew it was exactly where I was supposed to be. That formative experience paved the way for my student teaching opportunity and, eventually, my role as a 5th-grade teacher at Horrell Hill. During those foundational years, Ms. Satterwhite was a pillar of guidance, strength, encouragement, and leadership. The foundation she helped me build is what makes me the educator I am today, and I am deeply grateful for her mentorship. Her impact has affected generations of students and teachers, and the community is better for it. I am also thankful for reaching out a few years back to touch base with her. Thank you, Ms. Satterwhite. My thoughts and prayers🙏🏾are with the family, friends, and the Horrell Hill community.
REMEMBERING PARTHENIA AS A LITTLE GIRL GROWING UP AROUND HER FATHER’S STORE. KEPT IN TOUCH WITH HER PROGRESSE ESPECIALLY WHEN SHE GAINED THE TITLE OF A PRINCIPAL QUIET, FRIENDLY, SMART. THE APPLE OF HER PARENTS EYES. TO THE FAMILY I OFFER DEEPEST CONDOLENCES FOR YOUR LOSS. MAY YOU FIND GOD’S PEACE & COMFORT THAT ONLY HE CAN GIVE. MAY YOUR MEMORIES KEEP YOU CLOSE TO YOUR LOVED ONE FOR YEARS TO COME. PRAYERS & THOUGHTS FOR A NEIGHBORHOOD FRIEND.
My deepest condolences to your family!

Our deepest condolences and prayers.
I will never forget becoming a part of the Harrell Hill family just 6 months after being hired in Richland one 28 years ago. You were always very supportive and I will always hear those encouraging words you shared with me throughout the years. Your kindness is something I will NEVER forget!
Your leadership will be impossible to duplicate. You will truly be missed. Your crown awaits you!! Rest in Peace, Ms Satterwhite
To the family of Ms. Satterwhite I send my deepest condolences.
A true woman of valor and a pioneer to the Hopkins community. Three generations of my family came through those doors when she was principal. When my son attended Horrell Hill she remembered who I was and her words were “I remember all my babies”. Take your rest, Ms. Satterwhite, job well done.
My condolences to the family.
Ms.Parthenia Satterwhite you are and will always be the best principal in the world. I remember meeting you for the first time in 2018 being the principal of Horrell Hill Elementary School, you definitely had a heart of gold. I loved the way you greeted your staff,faculty, students, parents and community you made us feel like family.
Everything that I saw you that bright sunshine smile was always on your face. There were times when you took time out of your busy schedule just to have a conversation with me. I also, want to say that it was such an honor to be in your presence an exceptional woman with such grace, compassion, love, warmth, peace etc. Thank you for showing me what all of the characteristics of Jesus Christ looks like. Although, your time here on earth has come to an end there is so much more for you to do in heaven . You will be greatly missed.
I ❤️ you Ms. Parthenia Satterwhite.
My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Ms. Satterwhite. Her grace and beautiful spirit was always admired. She welcomed me to principalship with so much kindness and may she rest in heaven.
December of 1997, you gave me my 1st opportunity as a certified educator. Your leadership was one of service, kindness, compassion, fairness, and equity. While you had very high professional expectations of us you always encouraged us to put our families first. I am forever grateful for your leadership. Until we meet again, rest well. 🏫📚🍎 💙❤️ #HorrellHillEagles

My sincere condolences and prayers for the family. Another A.C. Flora Falcon has gained her wings 🪽 To God be the glory.
To the family of Ms. Parthenia Satterwhite & brother Henry, in particular who was my BTW classmate & fellow band member:
Thinking of you family, , at a time such as this as your beloved Parthenia transitioned from this earthly dwelling to eternal rest with a loving Savior.
Our paths crossed regularly as educators over the many years that we were active in the Profession.
My knowledge of her administrative skills as one of RCSD one’s stellar Elementary Principals, was that she was impeccable and laced with kindness, care and love for her staff & certainly her young charges entrusted to her by parents .
While our paths crossed only on a professional level, I would say that we were indeed friends throughout the years of
our careers.
Always a pleasant and congenial young lady, I found her easy to share with as we analysed and dissected our theories about the children that we worked with and how to best educate them at the place where they were when we first encountered them.
Her school, Horrell Hill Elem. was the place where I last encountered her as that positive, pleasant & oh so Professional Administrator.
She will be remembered by all who admired , respected and
benefitted from her educational and professional wisdom.
To God be the Glory for sharing her with us on this earthly journey.
She has now entered the realms of glory for her deserved rest from her labor
with her Lord and Savior!
She Moved Out To Move In!
You will be miss
You one of a kind
Parthenia Irene Satterwhite
In halls of memory, a time we see,
Columbia’s sun, and Wesley’s ministry.
A fellowship of families, pure and bright,
Sharing holiday meals in God’s own light.
Though seasons turned and years have passed since then,
The warmth of Satterwhite grace returns again.
A friend of youth, with spirit kind and true,
A Christian heart in all you’d say and do.
Your family’s faith, a strong and steady guide,
With sincerity planted deep inside.
A joy it was to watch your journey’s flight,
To see your works become a shining light.
And now the chapter of this earth is closed,
A gentle peace in Heaven is reposed.
No sorrow in this final, sweet release,
Just angel hymns that whisper of the Divine’s peace.
The Lord has called a faithful servant near,
To cast away all sorrow, doubt, and fear.
An angel has returned to God’s embrace,
Illuminated by eternal grace.
Your time on earth, a gift for all to see,
Now resting in the home you were meant to be.
We are so grateful for the life you shared,
A beautiful soul, forever loved and cared.
The entire Backmon Family would like to express our deepest sympathy and utmost respect to a lady with a heart liken to Christ. Thank you for your generosity, your compassion, your genuine love for others, and your exemplary, faith-filled leadership that has positively impacted so many lives (especially mine).
