Connie Wilkes

Welcome to the Connie Wilkes State Farm Insurance Agency!

If you’re looking for an insurance experience that feels a little different than what you’re used to, you’re in the right place. I don’t believe in chasing the lowest price just to write a policy. Instead, my team and I take the time to have real conversations so we can truly understand what matters most to you. From there, we help you choose the right coverage to protect your property, your income, and your future in the most economical way possible.

I’ve proudly been a State Farm agent for 34 years, and insurance is truly part of who I am. I come from a long legacy of State Farm agents—seven family members in total—which inspired me early on to follow in their footsteps and help others navigate the complexities of insurance with care and thoughtfulness. Our office team brings over 100 years of combined State Farm experience, with three of us having 30+ years each. We treat our customers like family and work hard to make sure every policy is customized to fit their specific needs.

We offer Auto Insurance, Home Insurance, Renters Insurance, and Life Insurance, helping individuals and families protect what matters most at every stage of life. Whether you're preparing for a big milestone, settling into a new home, or reviewing your current coverage, we’re here to guide you. We encourage our customers to connect with us every 18–24 months so we can review life changes and make sure coverage continues to meet their needs.

I’m proud to call Columbus, GA home and have lived here for over 40 years after growing up as a military brat. That experience gave me a love for meeting new people, but Columbus is where I’ve built lasting roots. Our office is conveniently located across from Dairy Queen on Macon Rd, about a mile east of the Columbus Citizens Service Center. We serve communities across Columbus, Ellerslie, Midland, Fortson, Hamilton, Pine Mountain, Buena Vista, Cusseta, and beyond, as well as Phenix City, AL, Salem, AL, and throughout Lee and Russell counties.

Outside the office, I’m deeply connected to our local community. I’m a member of the Optimist Club of Columbus, supporting children and families in our area, and we’re proud supporters of the Columbus Lions and the Columbus Clingstones. Family is everything to me—my husband Mark and I have been married for 42 wonderful years, and we’re blessed with two amazing children and two energetic grandchildren. When I’m not working, you’ll likely find me working out, reading, or spending time on our farm in Howard, Georgia.

We’ve built our agency one relationship at a time, and we’d love the opportunity to do the same with you—stop by, give us a call, or reach out to us here in Columbus anytime to get started.
