Felice Michelle Jones was born at Mercy Hospital on Saturday morning, October 28, 1972, in Orlando,

Florida to Mamie and David Jones. She was the youngest of two children. Felice, referred to as "Fee-Fee"

by family, transitioned from this life in the presence of family on July 21, 2025.

Felice was educated in the private school and Orange County Public School systems. She proudly expressed

that she was one of the first students to attend the newly opened Dr. Phillips High School. Her sister gifted

her a monogrammed varsity jacket during her first year there and she wore it constantly, weather

permitting. It was her favorite jacket, and she would mention how students frequently asked her where she

got it because she was the only student at the school with a jacket like that. She was in the Honor Society,

Theater/Drama Club, Debate team, and participated in college career training programs Upward Bound

and InRoads. She was also a member of Delteens.

Upon graduating, she set her sights on getting a degree in Business Administration from Florida A&M

University. She was accepted to be a student in Dr. (Dean) Mobley's SBI Program. While at FAMU, she

followed the lead started by her aunt and her mother by becoming a member of Delta Sigma Theta

Sorority, Inc. and joined during the same spring as her sister and her cousin who were at different

universities. She pledged the Beta Alpha Chapter at FAMU with a host of wonderful ladies who became

true, lifelong, dedicated sisters. An on-campus seminar changed her life and her career plans from

pursuing a career in International Marketing to one about which she was truly passionate: Sports and

Entertainment Planning.

She moved to Washington D.C. where she attended George Washington University, obtaining a Masters in

Entertainment Marketing. During her tenure there, she participated in several internships. The first was

with the DC Department of Tourism during which she wrote a book on tourism to help visitors explore

Washington D.C. Her second internship was with the National Football League Players Association. This

opportunity led to a full-time position as event planner. She quickly rose to the level of Vice-President of

Event Planning. For 25 years, she was responsible for planning and executing events such as the "Rookie

Premier", the annual Awards Gala, and the big one, the "NFL Players Party" held during the week of the

Super Bowl. The Players Party not only became her signature event, but it also quickly became the "must

go-to" event during the Super Bowl. During Felice's tenure as VP, The Player's Party became the "hot"

Super Bowl event that everyone wanted to attend and party attendees had to know someone in order to

get in. With a different theme every year, it was a well-coordinated event that featured top performers. It

was such a top-tier event that performers were asking her to perform, and celebrities were scrambling to

get tickets. Felice worked tirelessly all year to ensure that this and all the other events under her purview

came off without a hitch and she always succeeded. She also taught Sports Event planning at GW as an

adjunct professor for 5 years. She returned to Orlando and worked as an adjunct professor at UCF at the

Rosen College of Entertainment and Marketing. She traveled extensively, domestically and internationally.

Although her schedule did not permit her to physically volunteer at community events, she consistently

donated money to various organizations. She also donated supplies to assist under-privileged k-12

students to help them succeed in school.

Felice leaves to cherish her memories, her parents, David and Mamie Jones and her sister, Wanda Jones,

paternal great-aunt, Jean J. Waller, maternal aunts, Mary A. Ransom, Clementine A. Hall, Ethel A. Speight,

and Lacy A. Colson, Florence Alston, Jessie Alston, and a host of devoted cousins throughout the eastern

seaboard. There are also many very close friends made through the years all across the USA.
