Submitted by Ronelle Funk Insurance Agency
Stephanie Null recently joined Ronelle Funk Insurance Agency in Yelm as a Business Insurance Specialist, increasing the local agency’s ability to serve area businesses and adding to an already broad line of home, auto, motorcycle, boat and life insurance.
“We are thrilled to have Stephanie with us not only because of her commercial insurance experience, but also her extensive knowledge of commercial banking and finances,” says Ronelle Funk owner of the Yelm agency as well as one in Lacey. “Stephanie will add one-on-one personal care and skilled assistance for businesses who need protection.”
Stephanie recently moved to the area from Merced, CA to be near her son, a wounded soldier. Stephanie spent the last two years in personal and commercial line insurance with Foster and Parker, a brokerage in Madera, CA. Prior to that, Null worked for 17 years in banking—as a teller, in accounting, servicing home loans, eventually working her way up to being a branch manager.
Null says that she considered several agencies in the area but chose Ronelle Funk Insurance after doing her own extensive research and then meeting Ronelle and spending time in the office to observe operations.
“I found Ronelle honest and sincere, and her name well-respected in the community,” says Null. “Her entire family has been involved in insurance for more than 25 years and Ronelle has built a small agency into one that has grown incredibly. There is growth and opportunity here.”
Ronelle Funk currently owns two offices. The Yelm office at 10501 Creek St SE was voted the 2014 Business of the Year by the Yelm Chamber of Commerce. Ronelle recently purchased her father’s office on 1601 College Street when Bill Funk made the decision to retire.
