Twyla grew up in the country between Baldwin and Walsh, graduating from Sparta High School in 1986.   After high school, she worked as a Legal Secretary for the Law Firm of Nelson, Bement, Stubblefield & Rich in Belleville.  She married John Schulte in 1989 and they moved to Red Bud in 1993.  At that time, Twyla worked for Gateway FS in the main office as an assistant to the Controller.  After the birth of her second child, she was a stay-at-home mom for several years, volunteering at St. John the Baptist Catholic School.  During her time as a volunteer, Twyla and a group of ladies were instrumental in starting the annual school auction that has become a tradition for 20 years.   As soon as her youngest child went to school full time, she took a job at the Red Bud YMCA where she was the Program Coordinator for Monroe County.  After the new facility was built near Waterloo, she became the Program Coordinator in the Red Bud facility and helped with the Soccer program, Day Camp and Healthy Kids Day.

In, 1998, Twyla and John took on the adventure of becoming a business owner.  They have now owned Twyla’s Flower Shop for 10 years.  During that 10 years, the business moved from downtown Red Bud to the Park Plaza purchasing the old North County Savings Bank in 2012.  In November 2015, she added a wine bar to the business and then added a clothing line a year later.  Everyone that comes in says that it is a “one stop shop”.

This will be Twyla’s second time serving on the Chamber Board, previously serving as Vice President and President.  She was active in the start-up of the annual Lighted Parade and chaired the Annual Dinner and has the privilege of being part of the Committee for Santa’s Village.
