In Memoriam
[I]Katherine “Kay” Jennings[/I]It is with sadness that WANADA notes the passing of longtime Washington Area dealer Kay Jennings of Springfield Toyota. She passed away at the age of 89 on March 31, 2010. The first woman owner/operator of a Toyota dealership in North America, Kay was a native of South Carolina who moved to Springfield, Virginia in 1955. In 1983, after the death of her husband of forty years, Louis, she took over the daily operations of the dealership. Kay retired in 1995. The dealership is operated today by her son, Michael Jennings, keeping up the family tradition.
