Happily married for 34 years to Rev. M.G. Votaw II (Bud). We are Pastors of Living Faith Family Fellowship of Canton, OH which we founded at God's calling in April of 1992. We have three wonderful sons and three special daughter-in-laws; Jim (Jen), Paul (Paula), and Matt (Valerie), and have 6 awesome grand-children; Kelsie, Zane, Wyatt, Catie, Riley and Andrew.

Before and after graduation from Akron University, I taught dancing with my Dad, and with my parents together we traveled to Europe to establish credibility in certain dances, later I taught on my own. After going through a divorce and an eventual new marriage to Bud, we moved to Hartville, Ohio from Akron where we began the Church of which my husband is Sr. Pastor and I, an ordained associate.

We enjoy traveling and riding on Bud's Harley when weather permits. I enjoy baking and selling the baked goods at our local farmers market in Alliance, Ohio. I am involved with our church women's group and highly interested in nutrition and pray for the peace of Jerusalem.
