Hailey Marie Schafer, 13 of Chatfield, passed away Friday, March 5, 2021 after a very courageous battle with cancer. Hailey was born on June 5, 2007 to Shelly Schafer and Troy Timm and, from the beginning, she was a spunky girly girl. She loved the color pink, loved animals, and always found the good in everything. Coloring and music were Hailey's escape. She could always be found watching and singing along to Hannah Montana and Justin Bieber while coloring on her IPad.
Hailey will be dearly missed by her parents, Shelly (Scott) Sabin and Troy Timm; siblings, Cassidy, Carter, and Dylan; grandmas, Sue Schafer and Jan Timm; numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins; and her beloved pets, Lexi, Koda, and Butch.
She was preceded in death by her grandpas, Orrin Schafer and Al Timm; and uncle, Dave Geerdes.
A public visitation will be from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m., Saturday, March 13, 2021 at Hoff Funeral Service in St. Charles followed by a private family service. Masks and social distancing will be required. Please leave a memory of Hailey and view her video tribute at www.hofffuneral.com. Hoff Funeral Home, St. Charles, is assisting the family.
