🌟 Employee Spotlight: Lori Thomas 🌟
Meet Lori — she grew up on a dairy farm, was active in 4-H, and studied horticulture at JVS, which sparked her lifelong love of plants. She’s been married for over 40 years, has two sons, a daughter-in-law, four adorable grandkids, and a soft spot for animals—especially the strays she’s taken in over the years! 🐾💕
When asked about her favorite part of working at Eaton Floral, she said:
“Definitely the girls I work with—they’re like the sisters I never had! I also love getting to know our customers. Every day is a little different, and that keeps things fun.”
Her favorite flowers? She couldn’t pick just one!
“I really like carnations, daisies, sunflowers, and alstroemeria. They last a long time and always brighten up a room.” 🌼
Outside of work, you’ll probably find Lori spending time with her grandkids, watching old detective shows, cooking, relaxing at the beach, or even mowing the lawn—she actually enjoys it!
The most rewarding part of her job?
“Making people happy with pretty flowers—it really never gets old.” 💐
We’re so grateful for Lori’s heart, humor, and all the sunshine she brings to Eaton Floral every day!
