Chamber of Commerce Business of the Month: 30 Years as Deer Park’s Good Neighbor

It’s a great honor to be featured as Deer Park’s business of the month. As opposed to talking about our business as a whole, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank and congratulate the glue that has kept the Deer Park State Farm office thriving for 30 years. 

“Cindy Lenz (The Queen Bee) has been serving State Farm customers since September of 1990. When I took over the office in September of 2018, my first order of business was to keep Cindy. After having her as part of my team for the last 2 years, she has become more than just a great employee, she has become family. Her loving, caring, and task driven personality makes coming to work every day a pleasure. Our customers and our entire State Farm family are truly blessed to have Cindy in our corner!” – Billy Costello (State Farm Agent 2018 – Present). 

“Thirty years ago I was searching for a good employee. I was a relatively new State Farm Agent in Deer Park and I had gone through several staff when Cindy walked into my office. I needed a person who was efficient, smart, and personable. Cindy came into my office, took an aptitude test I got from a doctor and she passed with flying colors. She was the best employee I ever had! My agency in Deer Park would not have grown to what it was without Cindy’s help. Thank you for your untiring devotion to State Farm, me, and our policyholders.” Ed Bryan (State Farm Agent 1986 – 2018)

If you’re a customer/friend of Cindy’s and would like to congratulate her for 30 years of service, you can email her at [email protected], call 509-276-8714, stop by our office, or give her a wave when you see her yellow VW Beetle cruising around town!
