Retirement Celebration for Kathy Kellhofer

Our team recently had a retirement celebration for Kathy Kellhofer! Kathy and her husband, Larry purchased Sarcoxie Insurance Agency in 1986 and she continued to serve her customers after their agency merged with ours in 2013. Kathy has committed more than 30 years to her customers. Best wishes to her in her retirement and she will always be part of the Specialty Risk family! When asked what her retirement plans are, she said running the family dairy as there is always endless work to do there.
