Preserving your flowers in an everlasting keepsake.
I am the daughter of Ron and the late Jean Griess.
I grew up in Hartington, Nebraska and graduated from Cedar Catholic High School. I went on to attend classes at Northeast Community College and Wayne State College.
I married, Steve Wintz on August 4, 2001. We have been blessed with three wonderful children, Joshua, Brooklynn and Jackson. Steve works at the Wintz & Ray Funeral Home and Wintz Funeral Home.
I started making candles in November of 2014 with my sister-in-law. I then took over the business myself as of January 2017.
