Over seven decades serving Metrowest Boston
In 1955 Anthony DeAngelis purchased the Apex Insurance Agency in Framingham Massachusetts. Shortly thereafter Anthony changed the name to DeAngelis Insurance Agency. In the late 1960s, Anthony expanded the agency with his purchase of the Trinity Insurance Agency.
After working in the family business growing up, Elizabeth Dalton, Anthony’s daughter, formally joined the agency in 1979. Over the past five decades Elizabeth has worked in a variety of roles at the agency. And for the past 10- plus years she has owned/led DeAngelis Trinity. Elizabeth will join the Duffy Insurance Team on a full-time basis where she will continue to service her loyal following of customers.
“The DeAngelis Trinity Insurance Agency has always based its reputation on providing excellent customer service with a personal touch. I am pleased to be merging with the Duffy Insurance Agency and believe the expanded opportunities will be beneficial for all our customers. Marc Duffy and I are committed to continuing family friendly relationships while offering a greater breadth of resources, insurance products, and choices. Our personalized service is guaranteed,” said Elizabeth Dalton.
Michael Wendling of the New England Search Group represented DeAngelis Trinity as the seller’s broker in this purchase/sale.
