History

Established in 1962.

Edward F. "Ned" Palmer began offering insurance to this community when he was working as a concrete contractor with a young family. Initially, working through a direct writer, he realized that he wanted the opportunity to offer custom programs specific to each person, family and business he developed a relationship. Eventually, Ned and his wife, Donna, became an independent agency that designed programs for the so-called "average" risk to the risks that other agents ignored or declined. By operating with honesty and integrity, Palmer Insurance has been able to withstand the ups and downs of our economy; celebrating next to our clients through the successful years and being there for support and assistance through the times when challenges were around every corner. Since 2003, Ned and Donna's youngest daughter, after being licensed for 9 years, Paula Palmer, has pledged to operate as her parents did before; being proud to offer the feeling of coming home when you walk in the door.
