Meet the Designers

Tammy King

Price Cutter - Ozark

Tammy King was a preschool teacher for 9 years, with a longtime passion for flower gardening and tending to my own large garden. Over the past 4 years, that love for flowers has grown into a desire to pursue floral design professionally. In 2023, I joined the incredible team at Lilly’s Custom Floral and now manage the Ozark location. I lead a team of six floral associates, and together we take pride in creating beautiful arrangements and serving our customers with care.

Carol Ann Neely was a retired school teacher who has work with silk and fresh floral arrangements privately for family and friends since 1991.  After retiring, she began arranging professionally in 2024 with our amazing Lilly's Custom Floral team in Ozark.

Cheyenne Johnson

King Food Saver - Neosho

Cheyenne Johnson has lived in the Neosho area her entire life and began working in the floral industry at 16 years old right here at Lilly’s Custom Floral inside our Neosho King Food Saver. She's worked in floral and customer service for nearly 5 years. She decided to pursue a job at a large flower shop in Joplin, where she worked for several more years. Through the years, she's worked at different flower shops in and around the area, and has continued to refine my knowledge of diverse design styles from classic to contemporary. Attributing her industry expertise to the guidance of exceptional mentors who have inspired her to reach new heights. Cheyenne has enjoyed her role as a stay-at-home mom when a friend and former manager, reached out about me stepping in as the Floral manager at Lilly’s Custom Floral, it was a truly full-circle moment, and knew this is where she needed to be. With over a decade of experience, Cheyenne looks forward to continuing to serve and share the beauty of blooms with the Neosho community.
