Introducing the Board Members— |
|
Emma Darling was diagnosed on Christmas Eve in 2008. Her husband has been her friend and ally from day one; when aware of the danger of cross contamination, he was solidly behind her decision to cook only gluten-free foods. She got busy right away trying new recipes and has become quite accomplished making bread, and other goodies. Her husband became a willing taste-tester for new recipes. She soon found a place on the board and helps with lots of good ideas and resources. Retired from her career as a registered nurse, she is devoted to pastimes such as gardening, volunteerism and spending time with kids and four charming grandchildren. She also enjoys painting, cooking and writing. A memoir/gluten-free recipe book, which she would like to have published, has just been completed. |

Nancy Spears began a gluten free journey as the wife of a celiac husband, diagnosed in 1997. She has five grown children; three daughters diagnosed celiac, one son who diagnosed himself gluten intolerant, and one son who is a gluten eater. Nancy has been gluten free completely since 2005, and since then has realized that she is gluten intolerant. As the number of her grandchildren grows, so does the Grand Rapids gluten free community. This is the reason the Celiac Kids Support Group was formed, a ministry of Anchor Baptist Church. She is the Event Coordinator for the Annual Gluten Free Food Fair hosted by Anchor Baptist Church. |
