Greta Preston was born in Memphis, Tennessee, and raised in the Chicago area. Growing up in Aurora, Illinois, she discovered the values of faith, family, and perseverance very early on. At just fourteen years old, she met the love of her life, and together they built a life and family rich in love - until he passed away in 2002, forever changing her world.

Greta answered her call to ministry as an ordained minister and prophet in the 2000s. She is also a devoted entrepreneur and the founder of Preston’s Pearls - Designing, Decorating & Coordinating, through which she brings beauty and purpose into every space she touches. In 2012, she expanded her ministry work by establishing 20/20 Vision Women's Ministry, empowering women to see themselves as God sees them - whole, called, and capable.

In faith and resilience, she embraced God’s promise of restoration and remarried in 2003. After living in Dallas for five years, she returned to Illinois and now resides in Naperville. Through her memoir, Life After Death, she shares her testimony of love, loss, and the unstoppable hope that rebuilds the heart after it’s been shattered.
