Seven Questions with a Servant: Sarah Shaver

1. What's your name?

Sarah Shaver

2. Will you please share a little about yourself?

I grew up in beautiful Beckley, WV, went to college at WV Wesleyan, and have worked in radio and other media for over 36 years, now with the K-Love and Air 1 Christian radio networks. I have one sister, Carla, who lives in North Carolina and is retired. Geologist Rick and I married in 1985 and had to move all the way to Florida in 1990 to have two amazing kids, Karl and Katie. We didn't want our kids to grow up so far away from family so we moved back in 1996. Rick's mother, Carmella, and her late husband Karl were St. Timothy members and our kids were baptized there. We currently have two cats, petite Stella, and orange feline behemoth Lyle. Our best friends, Susan and Catherine Pierce, are part of our family, too!

Jo Hartley

2. Will you please share a little about yourself?

I'm from right here in South Charleston, WV. I taught k-12 music in both Kanawha and Grant Counties in WV and upon returning to Kanawha County became an Elementary Music Specialist until I was forced to medically resign in 2012. No spouse or kids, but I like to say I have many kids if I count all the kids I've had the privilege of working with in both public schools and here at Redeemer. I also have at least partial custody of a silly little white cat named Sookie who makes regular appearances on Facebook!
