Deanne (Sanderson) Fisher, granddaughter of Harold Sanderson, joined the agency in 1998 just after graduating from Beavercreek High School.

In September 2014 she purchased the agency from her father Richard Sanderson to become the current President and Principal Agent.

She specializes in commercial, personal and life insurance as well as business management. The most important thing to Deanne is “assembling a great team to work on behalf of our customers to provide the best customer service experience possible and provide the best well-rounded insurance needs for their family or business. I hope to always run the agency the way my grandfather worked so hard for when he started it.” When not spending time with her “work family,” she is busy with her husband and four children who are actively involved in football, wrestling, soccer and dance. Deanne also loves to go camping.

In 1999, Sanderson Insurance decided to merge with Quad-City when Larry decided he was ready to retire. He missed insurance after retiring because he joined right back with the Sanderson Team and came on as a producer.

He says, “After nearly 40 years in the business, my only mission now is to provide the best service to ALL my clients, both old and new. Service, as so eloquently described by Napoleon Hill, is one of the seven most important elements in life, if you want to succeed and be happy. I thank each and every one of my clients who help me attain this satisfaction, for it is my pleasure to serve you. Thank you!!”

Harold Sanderson was born in 1919 in Midway, Kentucky on his family’s farm where he grew up with 10 siblings. After serving in the Army Air Corps in World War II, Harold was transferred to Wright Patterson Air Force Base. After a brief career in the Air Force, he attended and graduated from the University of Dayton.

In 1957, Harold founded Sanderson Insurance Agency in Fairborn, Ohio. Harold truly treated his customers like family. We still remember the story he told of one of his customers having no one else to call, so they called him when they needed to be bonded out of jail for a traffic violation. Who else would you call about that, other than your insurance agent! He led the structure of our agency, which is to treat each other and our clients with respect and kindness the way we would treat our closest friend or relative.

Harold passed away in Oct of 2012. He was married to his wife Marian for 69 years and together they had 2 children, 6 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren, and 1 great-great-granddaughter.
