About the Author

Jennifer Bickel Cook

Jennifer began her association with Mary Kay in 1971 as a part-time employee working her way through college.

After earning her degree in 1974 she became a full-time employee and Mary Kay’s executive secretary, and was later promoted to Administrative Assistant and then supervisor of Mary Kay’s staff, which Mary Kay called “the department of sunshine and rainbows.” As she took on more and more responsibility, she was promoted to Manager in 1994.

When Mary Kay had her stroke in 1996 and was unable to return to the office, Jennifer was appointed Museum Director, a perfect fit. In 2000 she was also assigned Director of The Mary Kay Foundation and was also asked to serve on its board of directors. As Foundation Director, she initiated the MK5K in Dallas, for which she was recognized with the Star of Excellence Award.

In 2016 God began calling Jennifer to fulfill some of her lifelong dreams of serving Him. She retired in 2017 after a 45 year association with Mary Kay Inc. She lives in Irving, Texas, with her husband Rodney. She has three grown children, three grandsons and one on the way.

What People Are Saying

“What great memories! Mary Kay was influential in Dad’s career, allowing him to pre-sell his first book, See You at the Top, when he spoke at her events in order to help fund its publication before it was even printed. He had great respect and gratitude toward this amazingly genuine friend and Pass it On is a tremendous tribute to a very special woman. ”

“God has purpose for us,” says the apostle Paul in Romans 5:3-4. In Jennifer Cook’s Pass it On, she recounts Mary Kay Ash’s story. Jennifer describes Mary Kay’s start from meager means, her effect on the lives of thousands of people through her global billion dollar business, and the dramatic effect she had on Jennifer’s life. God used her trials and blessings to mold Mary Kay’s transformative faith for purposes of sharing the gift of eternity with others through her business, just as God had purpose in Jennifer sharing her story.”

“For decades, Jennifer Cook worked closely with Mary Kay Ash, and it is evident that she knew her subject well. Kudos to Jennifer for penning a wonderful book.”

Robert L. Shook, New York Times, best-selling author

“This book is an inspiration to everyone who is blessed to read it! It’s filled with wisdom, timeless principles, and true stories of how Mary Kay Ash deeply impacted the lives of countless thousands by living out her faith testimony in life and in business! The legacy she passed on to me also has been passed on to my daughters and granddaughters. She was a generation changer!”

Kathy Helou

“Many people have asked how it was that Mary Kay Ash was able to lead women in a manner that was uncommon to how the world operated. Leadership in our company was grounded in love and in the power of Belief. She believed in us, so we were able to believe in ourselves. Women thrive and flourish in that kind of atmosphere, and Mary Kay understood that truth. Jennifer Cook has brilliantly and beautifully shown us who Mary Kay the Christian was, and how that changed lives.”

Stacy James
Inner Circle National Sales Director

“I met Jennifer Cook after Mary Kay was no longer on this earth, and she has faithfully shared Mary Kay’s example of love and caring, making Mary Kay real. I know this book will help many other women to find success in all areas of their lives, and they, in turn, will be inspired to Pass It On.”
