Betty Connour's Retirement

Very happy for Betty's successful retirement and the happiness it will bring!

It was back on October 21, 1974 that Betty Connour started her State Farm career and after almost 40 years, she will be ending that career with her retirement on June 1, 2014.
Betty started out her career as a secretary in the Life Actuarial department, and shortly after, moved into an analyst role in the valuation area of Actuarial. She spent the majority of her career working in valuation before moving over to the policy servicing team, also within Actuarial. She has been a dedicated, dependable worker who has become the trusted expert on a wide range of life and annuity topics for both actuarial and the operation centers.
Throughout the years, Betty has shown her dedication to development by  attaining the FLMI, CLU, CHFC, ACS, AAPA, and FFSI designations.
When asked what will stick with her the most about her career at State Farm; Betty says that she will treasure the relationships that she has developed over the years, both within corporate and the operation centers.
In retirement, Betty is first looking forward to a family trip to Australia in July. After that, she plans to spend more time with her kids (Son- Scott and his wife Jessica, daughter- Sarah and her husband Brandon) and grandkids Tyler, Travis, and Ryan. She’ll also enjoy tending to her 3 horses and be out and about volunteering in the community.
There will be a retirement reception on her last day in the office, May 30, from 9:00 – 11:00 in SA3-C at Corporate.
I’m sure many would feel the same, but I feel fortunate to have been able to work with Betty and learn from all her experience. More importantly, I value her friendship. And although I’ll miss working with her, please join me in thanking her for all that she has done for State Farm and in wishing her much happiness in a well-deserved retirement!
