Hailey Jordan Bohaty was wrapped in the loving arms of God on Friday, March 29, 2019, in Phoenix, Arizona at the age of 23. Hailey was born March 1, 1996 in Lincoln, Nebraska at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital. She completed the Bohaty family upon her adoption with Rick and Renee Bohaty.

As a loving daughter, granddaughter, niece, cousin and friend, Hailey shone her beautiful smile that melted the hearts of all those around her. She loved spending time with family, friends and her dogs.

Growing up in Lincoln, Hailey was active in dance, sports, theater and many other activities. Hailey was an accomplished gymnast, a passionate volleyball player, a spirited softball player, as well as a stand out high school sprinter.

Hailey graduated from Lincoln East High school in Lincoln, Nebraska in 2014.

More than just an athlete, Hailey’s spirit and heart made her a strong advocate for anyone who needed help or was considered an underdog by others. Hailey had a great gift for making friends and never met a stranger. Hailey was passionate about helping people in need.  Being an organ and tissue donor was very important to her. As a donor to Donor Network of Arizona, she was able to help save many lives.

Her passion and creativity for make-up and music led her on many entrepreneurial adventures during and after high school.

Hailey taught us many lessons in her short life here on earth.  Be kind to others. Reach out to those in need. Love unconditionally. Live each day to its fullest. Be an organ donor.

Hailey is survived by her parents Rick and Renee Bohaty of Lincoln, Nebraska; Grandparents Doug and Barb Bohaty of Columbus, Janice Bohaty of Papillion, Joe and Betsy Heskew formerly of Council Bluffs, and Phyllis Olson of Columbus; Uncles & Aunts Jeff and Karen Olson of Deerfield, WI and Randy and Lisa Bohaty of Papillion, NE. As well as other aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family.

She will be deeply missed by all those who knew and loved her.
