About Easley Insurance Agency

Rooted in Tradition. Focused on You.

At Easley Insurance Agency, our story begins in 1953, when Don and Margaret Easley opened a small, family-run agency with a big vision: to protect their neighbors like family and provide honest, dependable service to the Victoria community. Don built the original office with his own hands at 1203 East Red River — a location we still call home today.

That same spirit of dedication has guided our agency for more than 70 years.

In 2005, their daughter Donna Easley Doane brought the Easley name full circle, founding the independent agency we know today — still locally owned, still family-driven, and still committed to doing what’s right for every client we serve. With decades of experience and a Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) designation, Donna helped lead Easley Insurance into a new era of growth, trust, and personalized service.

Now, the next generation is stepping forward. Donna’s sons, John and Mark Doane, proudly represent the third generation of Easley leadership — continuing the legacy with fresh energy, new ideas, and the same unwavering values.

What Sets Us Apart

Our Vision

We honor our past by preparing for the future — embracing innovation, growing our team, and expanding our services while staying true to the values Don and Margaret instilled from the beginning: integrity, hard work, and putting people first.

Whether you’ve been with us for decades or are just joining the Easley family, we’re honored to serve you — and we look forward to earning your trust for generations to come.
