🌸 **The Faces of Gillespie Florists** 🌸

Say hello to **Sheila Wise**, one of our incredible floral designers — or as she likes to call herself, *“floral designer extraordinaire.”*

Sheila has been part of the Gillespie Florists family for **16 years**, and we truly can’t imagine the shop without her!

Her favorite blooms? **White roses, white peonies, and mink protea** — timeless, elegant, and full of personality, just like her designs.

When asked what she loves most about working at Gillespie, Sheila shared:

> “The people — most of us are like family. We can get mad, poke fun at each other, and it’s all good the next minute. We hold each other up when needed.”

Sheila has a special place in her heart for **funeral work**, where her empathy and artistry shine as she helps bring comfort through flowers. Her floral journey began over **30 years ago**, when she started helping friends and family with weddings and funerals — until one day, a shop owner recognized her natural talent and hired her on the spot!

As for her favorite Gillespie memory?

> “During my interview, I was joking around and being super sarcastic with someone in the design room — not realizing he was the owner! I thought I’d blown it, but he insisted they hire me… and here I am, all these years later!”

When she’s not designing stunning arrangements like her favorite, **‘[Warmest Remembrance](https://www.gillespieflorists.com/sympathy-arrangement/warmest-remembrance-casket-spray/p_ef_t266-3a?skuId=EF_T266-3A&nav=clear),’** you’ll find Sheila **remodeling her house, camping, or spending time with her beloved dogs.** Around the shop, she’s affectionately known as our resident “vet/nurse,” always ready to lend a hand (or a bandage).

Sheila believes that *“people are put in your life when needed — either for you or for them.”* We couldn’t agree more.

💐 **Join us in celebrating Sheila — 16 years of creativity, compassion, and humor at Gillespie Florists!
