Leslie E. Coffman

Leslie E. Coffman, 44, of Goshen died Saturday, June 11, 2022, from injuries sustained in a traffic accident.

She was born February 2, 1978, in Goshen to Roy and Leticia “Letty” (Ponce) Rhodes.

On September 15, 2001, she married Craig A. Coffman in Elkhart.

He survives along with two daughters, Anna S. Coffman, and Lillian L. Coffman, both of Goshen; two grandmothers, Genevieve “Sally” (Pergrum) Coffman of Goshen, and Kenlyn K. “Woody” (Sorg) Haack; Craig’s parents, Ken L. and Kathy L. (Sorg) Coffman, and a brother-in-law, Dustin L. Coffman, all of Goshen; and her parents, a brother, Michel R. Rhodes, and a grandfather, Gilbert Rhodes all of Goshen.

Leslie attended three years of college at Grace College in Winona Lake Indiana and worked as an assistant manager at Sorg Jewelers, Elkhart. She Loved spending time with her children and husband of 21 years. She loved spending time with those people more than anything, but was often hiking, walking, and exercising her two German Shepherds. Leslie enjoyed making everyone laugh and always had a beautiful smile on her face. The only time she wasn’t smiling was when she battled with migraine headaches. She enjoyed giving to those less fortunate than she was. So much so that she even gave parts of her body in donation to science (to those in need) after her passing.  Leslie was a faithful attendee of Wakarusa Missionary Church, where she was active in their small group.

The visitation and memorial service will be held for both Leslie and Craig together. Visitation will be on, Thursday June 30, 2022 ^, from 11:00 am to 2:00 pm EST and 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Yoder-Culp Funeral Home. Their memorial service will take place on Friday, July 1, at 2:00 pm at Wakarusa Missionary Church. Officiated by Reverend Chris Knight. A live feed will be available.

Leslie’s wishes were to be cremated; therefore, there will be no burial after the memorial service.

In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts, in memory of their parents, can be made directly through Interra Credit Union; payable to the Anna Coffman Memorial Benefit Fund or the Lillian Coffman Memorial Benefit Fund. All financial support will be towards both girls’ academic finances only.
