The star from 21st season of “The Bachelor,” Hailey Merkt, passed away at the age of 31, after she lost her battle against cancer.
“It is with broken hearts we share that our beloved Hailey has passed away after a courageous fight for her life. Hailey faced this journey with unimaginable strength, grace, and selflessness,” Hailey’s family announced from their social media account.
“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 family continued.
As the family described Hailey as a person who lived the life fullest, “She will be remembered as anything but boring, always hysterically funny, and as someone who lived fully in the present moment,” they added.
“Hailey will be profoundly missed by all who knew her. Her laughter, her love, and her vibrant spirit have left an undeniable mark on our hearts.”
After she passed away, her family launched a fundraiser in her name. In the GoFundMe page, the family shared that Hailey underwent bone marrow transplant which gave hope to her, but in weeks, the cancer returned.
May she rest in peace.
