Aaliyah Arianna Saldivar

Aaliyah Arianna Saldivar age 11 of Toledo, Ohio went to be with her Lord and Savior on March 5, 2025. She was born in Napoleon, Ohio on June 18, 2013 to Nathaniel R. and Brianna M. (Rendon) Saldivar.

Aaliyah had a charismatic force that was highly infectious. She was vivacious, trailblazing and a little firecracker that loved to be silly and make people laugh. Aaliyah was talented in a multitude of areas and aspired to go to law school and become a defense attorney. She excelled in academics, volleyball was her sport and she loved to dance. Aaliyah was very family oriented and her true passion was attending CedarCreek’s youth group on Sunday’s. She lit up the room with her beautiful smile.

Aaliyah had a natural way with children and one of her goals was to complete Growth track so she could facilitate and help watch children during services. We will never understand why she was taken from us so soon. She was loved dearly and is now living her best life with the Lord.

Surviving are her parents, Nathaniel and Brianna Saldivar; grandparents, Rudy Saldivar, Cynthia and Matthew Waller and Brendon Rendon; great-grandparents, Mario Estrada Sr., Olga and Ismail Lerma; aunts and uncles, Linda (Rod) Klophenstein, Mario and Yolonda Estrada, Martin Estrada and Marcos, Rose Estrada, Desiree (Victor) Saldivar, Macey Saldivar, Nikki Saldivar, Kira Tanner and Logan Collins; cousins, Mario, Madden, Gabby, Marcos, Miah and Mercy Estrada, Nicholas, Jocelyn, Romelo Montes and Liam, Lucas, Arthur, Alaura Collins.
