Jenny died of AIDS. This was back in the early-to-mid 1980s, when there were no real treatments and the doctors couldn't do much more than keep her as comfortable as possible while she died.

As she says to Forrest (while they're in the park in Savannah and Forrest Jr. is playing on the swings): "Forrest? I'm sick...I have some kind of virus. And the doctors don't...they don't know what it is, and there isn't anything they can do about it."
