"I just want to say a big thank you to all our customers," said Thomas 'Tem' Morrison. "And thank you to Jennifer Fausett and her culinary class at Center High School for all the food," he said.

Morrison Insurance Agency hasd its beginnings in 1923 when H.B. Johnson founded Johnson’s Insurance Agency. In 1925, Tommie Eugene Morrison (T.E.) and H.B Harris started Morrison and Harris Insurance Agency. Thomas Earl (Tommy) Morrison joined them in 1949. In 1952, Johnson’s Insurance Agency merged with Tommy Morrison’s Agency and formed Johnson & Morrison Insurance Agency.

Tommy Morrison and H.B. Johnson were partners for twenty-six years, and friends for life. Thomas Earl (Tem) Morrison, Jr. joined his father in 1978, when Mr. Johnson retired. The name changed to Morrison Insurance Agency. Jane Morrison, wife and mother, joined the business in 1984, after receiving her license. Mrs. Morrison rarely missed a day of work, and just recently retired. Connie Morrison started working in 2018.

She is licensed in personal insurance and handles the accounts receivables/payables. Together, this family business has continued to grow and prosper. Their staff (extended family) have been, and continue to be, committed to the business and their customers. Joy Miller, an experienced agent having previously worked at Stockman Insurance and Bounds Insurance, was with Morrison’s for nearly 25 years, retiring just after her 90th birthday. JoLynn Fountain started in the insurance industry in 1980 at her parent’s agency and has been at Morrison Insurance for 25 years. JoLynn’s primary focus is commercial insurance.

Monica Watson has over 25 years of experience in insurance having previously worked at State Farm. She started working at Morrison’s in 2015, left in 2019 but is back with the company specializing in personal and some commercial insurance.

Morrison’s Insurance Agency is an independent Insurance Agency representing many superior rate companies. This provides them the opportunity to shop for their clients to get the best rates possible. Congratulations on 100 years of business in Shelby County and Thank You!!
