Carolyn Thomas Thompson

Carolyn Thomas Thompson is an insurance agent for State Farm Insurance. Her title, however, is not just reflective of her job, but a family legacy of serving the community across two generations. Working with State Farm for over 30 years, she has spent the last 25 as the company’s agent in Williamstown, KY.

Born and raised in Grant County where her father was the town’s State Farm agent, Carolyn returned to Williamstown 25 years later to take over her father’s business upon his retirement. This also led to her getting involved in the community– with roles at the Williamstown Kiwanis Club and the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life.

One of her biggest honors, however, was being asked to be part of the St. Elizabeth Grant County Foundation. The Grant County Hospital has played a vital part in the healthcare of her hometown for 70+ years. She has spent seven years serving as the chair of the foundation’s Community Relations Committee, which is heavily involved in fundraising for various projects. Carolyn also serves on the Grant County Chamber of Commerce’s Board of Directors and as the Chair for the Grant County Schools Foundation. Additionally, she has served 11 years on the Grant County Extension District Board.

Married to her husband, Steve, for 38 years, Carolyn is the mother of two children. Her daughter Meghan is an attorney and her son, Alex, works for a State Farm agent in Omaha, Nebraska.

“I am humbled and honored to receive this award. When you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. That is truly how I feel about my life,” said Carolyn. “I am thankful my State Farm career has given me the opportunity to serve and give back to the community and working with the St. Elizabeth Foundation has truly been a blessing in my life. I hope I can continue to serve the community as Henrietta Cleveland did when she started the St. Elizabeth Hospital.”
