Her determination, courage, and will to live surpassed every timeline the doctors gave her, and she chose to spend her final moments surrounded by loved ones and doing what she cherished most with no regrets.” The post noted that Merkt would “be remembered as anything but boring, always hysterically funny, and as someone who lived fully in the present moment.
Hailey embraced life with an unmatched zest; her beautiful spirit has touched countless lives.” “Hailey will be profoundly missed by all who knew her,” the post continued. “Her laughter, her love, and her vibrant spirit have left an undeniable mark on our hearts.
