Hey Kathy, this definitely shouldn't be the case. Doing a reset in the manner you described simply forces the phone to reboot. It shouldn't reset any of your settings.
To be safe though, I'd recommend popping into Settings/General/Accessibility/Tripple click home, and setting the tripple click home command to VoiceOver. That way you'll have a better chance of getting the phone up and talking again should VoiceOver ever be disabled, because you can simply press the HOME button three times to toggle it.
