Leona was born in Mansfield, Ohio on July 6, 1925, to the late Elmer and Millie (Simmons) Pollock. She married Harl Hoffman on August 1, 1942, in Newport, Kentucky, and he preceded her in death on March 24, 2008.
After attending Crestline High School, Leona worked at Crestline Hospital in housekeeping for 33 years until retirement. Leona attended Windfall Emanuel United Church of Christ, Galion and was a member of both Galion and Crestline Golden Age Club. Leona's main goal in life was to make people happy.

As their family grew, time spent with the grandchildren and great grandchildren was very precious, especially baking and decorating Christmas cookies together.
