Sonja Tice

Sonja "Toni" Dawn Tice, of Park Hills, entered eternal rest on September 23, 2025, at Mercy Hospital Festus, at the age of 65. She was born on November 22, 1959, in Ely, Minnesota, to the late Ivan and Laverne (Bakken) Kelley.

Toni is survived by her loving husband of 14 years, Bernard "Bernie" Tice; her children, Craig Hodek of Florida and Amy Honor of Mesa, Arizona; her beloved grandchildren, Carter, Zachary, and Raven; her sister, Kathy Grisco of Golden Valley, Minnesota; as well as nieces, nephews, extended family members, and her special canine companion, Cocoa.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her sister, Diana (the late Ken) Ferderber.

Toni worked as a phlebotomist and was known for her dedication and hard work. She was a faithful member of 3 Crosses Cowboy Church, where she joyfully served in many areas of the ministry. She had a deep love for her family, her faith, and her community.

Toni especially loved Maui, country music—particularly Gary Allan and classic country—and spending time with those she loved most.

She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

A memorial service will be held on Saturday, October 11, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. at 3 Crosses Cowboy Church, 4560 Highway O, Farmington, officiated by Pastor Mike McGee.
