Meet Katie Jones, Gloves for Grief Board Member

Katie Jones was born and raised in Visalia California. She moved to San Diego for college and studied nutrition, fitness, and became a MAC certified makeup artist. She is back in Visalia now and working at the Visalia police department and owns her own small business doing permanent jewelry, called Zapped with Love. She also has a sweet little doggie named Brooklyn Grace.

Losing her brother Patrick in the line of duty in February 2020 is what connected her to Gloves for Grief. It was a sign from him, because they always talked about boxing in a real boxing gym and with a professional boxing coach. Gloves for Grief has brought an understanding of grief without words, and created a community that walks together through loss. 

Katie says, “I am honored to be part of the board and help steer the organization into the future. It is my true calling to help others through their pain, and to never to feel shame or that they are alone. Just as my brother always said… I got you.”
