Member News

The Troy Chamber is saddened to inform you that our Board Chair, Jennifer Whitteaker had passed away on Tuesday, March 18th from a brain aneurysm.  Jennifer was only 55 years old.   Jennifer has been active in our Troy business community for years and is loved by so many.   She was incredibly kind, dedicated, knowledgeable, funny, and always the person you went to when you wanted to have a real and genuine connection.  She was passionate about her family and helping others.  Her wit was only beaten by her incredible heart.  Jennifer was more than a chamber member; she was a true friend to us all.

We are all pretty shook at this heartbreaking news.  We ask that you keep her family, DTE family, and friends in your thoughts.  She touched the lives of so many and to say that she will be missed is an absolute understatement.
