Leslie Cordel (Paul) Hoffmann

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Leslie Cordel Hoffmann (Paul), who departed this world July 10, 2025 after a courageous battle with breast cancer. Leslie passed away peacefully, surrounded by the love of her family.

Leslie was born in Green Bay, WI on May 5, 1970 to Robert and Valorie (Gast) Paul. She graduated from Ashwaubenon High School in 1988. She loved people, especially friends and family - spending time outdoors, cheering on the Packers, and taking on new adventures. Leslie worked at Georgia Pacific for 10 years, where she took pride in her career, working in both customer service and logistics among many great coworkers whom she called friends. 

Leslie faced her illness with grace, strength, and an unshakable spirit. Her resilience was matched only by the love she gave so freely to those around her. She was a woman of deep compassion, quick wit, and quiet strength, leaving a lasting impression on all who had the privilege to know her.

Above all, Leslie was a devoted mother. Her greatest pride and joy was her son, Hunter, whom she loved beyond measure. Their bond was a constant source of strength and purpose in her life, and she often said that being his mother was the greatest honor she could ever know.

Leslie is survived by her son Hunter (fiancée Lauren); partner Ronnie Krueger, sister Leanne (Kurt Burton); one niece Kayla (Jason Allen, Oliver Allen); Sister in law Tricia Paul; two nephews Bryce Paul (fiancée Alyse), Mason Paul (fiancée Ellie) and her close Aunt Shirley Yonke (daughter April Fink) and the large Paul family which includes many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who she deeply loved.

Leslie was preceded in death by her father and mother, Robert and Valorie, sister, Robin Paul, and brother, Erik Paul. 

A celebration of Leslie’s life will be held on Tuesday July 15th from 4pm - 6pm at Lyndahl Funeral Home (1350 Lombardi Avenue) with a prayer service to follow at 6pm. Friends and family are invited to gather and share memories of a woman who lived with courage, loved fiercely, and left the world better than she found it.

Leslie’s family would like to extend a sincere thank you to the staff at City of Hope and Aurora BayCare Medical Center for their exceptional and compassionate care.
