Laurel, Nebraska – Security Bank proudly announces the retirement of LuAnn Steffen, who concludes a 27‑year career of dedicated service to the bank and the Laurel community.

LuAnn began her career at Security Bank on December 21, 1998. Throughout her career she served the bank with consistency, care, and a deep commitment to helping customers each day.

Over the years, she witnessed and adapted to tremendous changes in banking, from the transitioning from proof machines to the implementation of real‑time teller scanning, mobile and online banking, Apple Pay, Zelle, secure alerts, and evolving fraud‑prevention tools. Through every transition, LuAnn remained a steady, reliable presence for both customers and coworkers.

In her role, LuAnn faithfully handled customer transactions and the behind‑the‑scenes details that customers count on every day helping Security Bank serve the community with accuracy, efficiency, and genuine care.

LuAnn’s favorite memories reflect what made her time at Security Bank so special—the people. Whether it was quarterly celebrations, working alongside longtime coworkers, or forming lifelong friendships within the Laurel community, the relationships built over the years meant the most to her. She credits the family‑oriented culture and core values emphasized by the bank’s leadership as a major reason she felt so blessed to be part of Security Bank.

Outside of work, LuAnn enjoys spending time with her husband, Mike, taking scenic drives, traveling with family, tubing, walking trails, shopping, decorating, and planning her next flower garden. She is the proud mother of three children—Tara, Bradley, and Katelyn—and grandmother to Liam and Ava. LuAnn has also been active in the community, teaching CCD Catechism for 10 years at St. Mary’s Catholic Church and serving six years as Secretary of the St. Mary’s Altar Society.

Security Bank extends its heartfelt gratitude to LuAnn for her 27 years of loyal service. We wish her all the best in a retirement filled with family, travel, and new adventures.
