Jeff made a heartfelt tribute to his late mother via Instagram, describing her experience with having him so young — saying “She pounced on the job of loving me with ferocity, brought my amazing dad onto the team a few years later, and then added my sister and brother to her list of people to love, guard, and nourish.”
He continues to say that after her long battle with Lewy Body Dementia she passed away today, surrounded by so many of those who loved her including her kids, grandkids, and Jeff’s dad in the final moments of her life.
Jeff’s new wife Lauren Sánchez re-shared the post on her IG Stories, adding a broken heart emoji.
Jacklyn had Jeff at 17 with first husband, Ted Jorgensen, but split when Jeff was just a toddler. She later married Miguel ‘Mike’ Bezos, and they famously invested just under $250K into Jeff’s then-new venture — Amazon — in 1995.
She was 78.
RIP
