During the last year of WWII, a man entered a store and asked if anyone wanted to sell binder twine.  Celeste did. Later, he asked if she wanted to sell insurance.  She did. 

And the rest is history.

In 1999, Celeste’s son and daughter-in-law, Roy and Martha Bryant, joined the company and she retired. 

In 2009, their daughter and son-in-law Brandi and Garrett Barnett joined the company.

If you want to see Celeste, you might catch her on Friday mornings. Otherwise, she’s probably visiting her great-grandson Maximus.
