ABOUT US
The Pretorius Insurance Agency has been passed down for three generation in the Pretorius family, since it was started by Walter F Pretorius, Sr. in 1936. After serving in the army, Calvin C. Pretorius, Sr. joined his father in the family business in 1957. Then his daughter Miriam Pretorius became the owner in 1997. She sold the business in 2018 to Amy Dervin. She graduated magna cum laude from Kent State University with a bachelors of science degree in Insurance Studies. Albert Dervin joined his daugher in 2023. Albert merged his agency in with Amy. He has been in the insurance business for over 50 years, opening his independent agency in 1998. He taught Amy everything he knows. It's a family business at its core.
We now have two locations one in Stark County and one in Tuscarawas County. We are known as the Dervin Insurance Group, Inc in North Canton and Pretorius Insurance Agency in Dover.
