In 1991, she married; later that same year her son Tyler was born. Jennifer Jones was a woman whose presence commanded attention when she walked into a room. Her drive and determination made her into the very successful businesswoman she was throughout the next 20 years.

Over the past 12 years, her loyal dog Bailey was always by her side.
