Jeanine O’Donnell’s State Farm Insurance office, located at 16583 Coastal Highway, Lewes, celebrated the 90th birthday of State Farm June 7. G.J. Mecherle, an Illinois farmer who thought farmers shouldn’t pay as much for car insurance, founded the company in 1922. The office celebrated with a cake and other party favors. Shown at the party are (l-r) policyholder Jeffrey Clark, team members Sherri Schaaf, Christena King, Joe Brzos, Agent Jeanine O’Donnell, team member Candace Morgan and policyholder John Kennedy.
