Lenora Crumbley, Medicare Insurance Agent
About Me
I have a passion for helping others and promoting health education. I have worked in homecare and staffing for 26 years. I have taught CPR and First Aid classes for staff, healthcare facilities, schools, and daycares. I also love dancing to the oldies so I became certified in Zumba Gold and Silver Sneakers just so I can sub in at a local gym and share the joy when I can. I am a licensed insurance agent in NC and SC in life, health, and Medicare. My goal is to contribute to every stage in life and grow with every stage in life.
