Karmen Ward

I was born and raised in Fairview, IN, about 15 miles from the Portland area. I graduated from Indiana Vocational Technical College. I jumped right into the insurance industry after graduation and worked as an independent agent for 25 years. I was a team member in another State Farm Agent's office for one year before opening my own State Farm Agency in 2014.

I’m active in the Portland community; I have been a member of the Jay County Chamber of Commerce and involved with many charities. I quilt for charity, my favorite charity is Jay County Humane Society. I also work with local high schools on work study programs. I raised my two kids in the Randolph community. On the weekends I really enjoy golfing, crafting, sewing quilts and baby items (such as diaper bags and bibs), and collecting featherweight sewing machines.

My State Farm Agency is located at the corner of Walnut and Ship Street in Portland. I have a Licensed Team of Five Professionals ready to assist you with auto insurance, homeowner’s insurance, renter’s insurance, life insurance, and financial services. My office is pet friendly so you will be greeted by my two dogs, Bella (Schnauzer) and Padfoot (German Shepard).
