LeRoy Leidal Obituary
Lee married Lonna Hoel on August 23, 1964 at Salem Lutheran Church in Lake Mills, IA and had three daughters. Lee graduated from the University of Northern Iowa (UNI) with a Bachelor's Degree in English, then from Northeast Missouri State University with a Master's Degree in Education, then from UNI with an Ed. S. Degree in Education. He was an educator, school administrator, business owner, then finished his career in the financial services industry as an advisor and then manager. Following retirement, Lee and Lonna packed their bags and headed to sunny, warm AZ where they enjoyed camping and traveling. They returned to Menomonie in 2019 to be near family. Lee was actively involved in church activities and Lions Clubs in Hudson, WI, Queen Creek, AZ, and Menomonie. He enjoyed the relationships he established at the Village at White Pine in recent years. Lee loved music, writing, correcting others' grammar, telling a great story or joke, biking, days at the lake, ATV riding, a shot or 2 of Aquavit (often with neighbor, Bill), and spending time with family.
