Loretta Bailey: Allstate Insurance

What I love about living in Joplin is the attraction of a bigger town with a small town feel. I’m proud of how we come together as a community when something happens. I enjoy rooting for the St. Louis Cardinals and KC Chiefs, spending time with my family, canoeing, fishing and hunting with friends.

I’m proud to work with Hope 4 You Breast Cancer Foundation, where every penny we raise goes back to the community. I also volunteer with Habitat for Humanity and the Home Builders Association, and I sponsor various Little League teams.

I’ve been in this community since we first opened our doors in 2005. It’s important for customers to understand that I truly know how important it is to help protect your assets and your family. When I lost my husband in 2001, his life insurance allowed me to fulfill the dream of starting my own Allstate agency. Now I get to help people rebuild their lives, and I have the opportunity to help the community and make Joplin a better place to live.
