Haley lived most of her life in the Fairfield area. She graduated from Fairfield High School in 2009 and attended Ottumwa School of Beauty. Haley worked as a waitress at George's Pizza during high school where she got to know practically everyone in town. She later worked at Kirkwood College in Cedar Rapids. Her love for all genres of music and movies was her favorite past time. Haley loved her family very much and her friends equally as much. Haley's wish to be an organ donor will allow that love to live on in others.

She was preceded in death by her Grandmothers Virginia Weaver and Roxie Deutsch; Great Grandparents, Fred and Helen Weaver, Benny and Millie Creek and Donald E. Essary.
