Annice Soles

Annice Soles, age 77, of Springfield, Ohio, entered eternal rest on Thursday, November 6, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.

She was born on March 27, 1948, in Springfield, Ohio, to the late Leander and Laura Soles Sr. A proud graduate of Springfield North High School, Annice built a long career serving her community. She retired from Huntington Mortgage Company and also dedicated many years to Ohio Bell and The Kissel Company.

Annice was a woman of remarkable strength, grace, and vibrant spirit. Her life was a testament to her deep love for her family. She enjoyed singing, bowling, and traveling, but her greatest joy was found in spending time with her loved ones.

Known for her impeccable style as a "sharp dresser" and her role as a strong advocate for literacy, Annice's laughter, kindness, and unwavering love left a lasting imprint on everyone blessed to know her.

Her legacy of family, faith, and love will live on. She will be remembered for her beautiful voice, her caring heart, and the special way she made everyone feel like family. Even as her memory faded, the essence of her love and thankfulness for her family remained untouched.

She leaves to cherish her only child and loving daughter, Jessica Soles of Springfield, Ohio; her grandchildren, Alexander Almon of Springfield, Ohio, and Jaden and Bradley (Soles) Slone; and her precious great-granddaughter, Adilynn Slone.

She is also survived by her brother, Sgt. Robert J. Soles Sr. of Springfield, Ohio; two sisters, Ora Yates and Mary Muhammad, both of Dayton, Ohio; a special cousin, Pam Jones Williams of Atlanta, Georgia; and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, and friends who will forever carry her in their hearts.

Annice was preceded in death by her parents; her beloved grandson, Jalen James Almon; and her siblings, Leander Soles Jr., Elbert Soles, Nancy White, Annie Walton, Joe Henry Soles, and Marguree Howard.
