Born in 1956 in Nijverdal, The Netherlands, Anneke became a serious follower of Jesus in the early 70’s. She married her husband Jan in 1977 and were both very active in their church, attending Bible School together. They moved to the USA in 1994 and recently moved to NH where Jan works as an engineer at OSRAM Sylvania in Hillsboro.

Anneke is very creative and also very organized. What a mix! This makes her an ideal person to provide order to beauty and beauty to order within RoG. She is gifted in hospitality and cooking (these go well together – stop by and try some of her soup!). She once ran her own catering business while living in Massachusetts. She enjoys gardening and outside stuff, especially with friends.

Her name gets all sorts of funny pronunciations. She’s been called “Anarchy” and “Unique”. Fortunately she only lives up to the latter. Her husband Jan also gets called names, but we now know to say “Yan” or “Anneke’s husband”. For special occasions, he treats her to dinner at her favorite local restaurant, The Common Man.

The River of Grace gets to share her administrative skills with CML Administrators. Both organizations are fortunate to have her share her gifts and presence.

Marsha was born and raised in Barre, Vermont in a family with five girls.  Her parents were active in their church which meant the girls were too.  Marsha came to faith in Christ as a child at the age of 7.  Her passion for working with children began during her Jr. & Sr. High School years, as she volunteered in the church’s children’s ministry.   She pursued an Elementary Education degree (which she may finish someday) and taught for eight years in a small, rural NH Christian School. 

In 1989 she married Art Savage, moving to the Concord area (Webster) the next year.  Art is a Physical Therapist with the Concord VNA.   Marsha & Art have been actively involved in church life, raising their son Ryan in the value of Christian community. 

Marsha loves family, friends, children, relationship building, reading, and creative stuff like decorating.  She is exceptionally hospitable, finding great pleasure in opening her home to others.  On the occasion she gets out for a meal, her favorite Concord restaurant is Margarita’s, or on special occasions, the Common Man.
