Leslie Roessler

Leslie Roessler, 65, of Bethlehem, passed away peacefully on October 31st, 2023, in her home, surrounded by her loving family. She was the wife of Dr. Luc Kuykens, with whom she shared over 29 years of marriage. Born in Los Angeles, CA, she was the daughter of Leonard Roessler and the late Natalie (Haft) Roessler. Leslie earned her Bachelor of Nursing degree and went on to earn her Master's degree in Public Health. She worked as a nurse for much of her life until retiring in 1999 to care for her family. Leslie enjoyed working and traveling with her husband all over the world. She loved attending musicals and theatrical productions, playing the piano, and perhaps, most of all, supporting the causes she was passionate about. She was also utterly devoted to family and friends.
