Statement on the Passing of Jean Jennings
This statement can be attributed to Ford President and CEO Jim Farley.
Like so many around the automotive world today, we are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Jean Jennings.
This is a special industry with a core that cuts across brands and continents. People who love automobiles for their art and motion as much as we dedicate our professional lives to advancing the industry. Jean exemplified all of it - a legend who lived a life any of us would aspire to and an example for all. From mechanic to taxi driver to journalist to editor to mentor and more, above all Jean was a pioneer and role model.
On behalf of Bill Ford, and our extended Ford family around the globe, we send our heartfelt condolences to Jean’s husband Tim, her family and former colleagues who were blessed to have known her. Godspeed, Jean. We know the heavens will shake every time you start your engine.
