SEYMOUR, WIs. — An obituary through Muehl-Boettcher Funeral Home identifies two girls as four-year-old Mattelin “Mattie” Annie Samson and three-month-old Hailey Kaye. No last name was listed for Hailey.
The obituary said Mattie was named after her late father Matthew Samson who, according to his obituary, died in 2013 from cancer.
In the obituary, Mattie is described as, “'all girl,' a princess obsessed with “Frozen” who loved to wear dresses and lip gloss and could not get enough of the color pink. Her joy for life was so intense that she skipped while others walked and would tell you that her eye color was 'rainbow.'"
It also said the mother calls Hailey "a 'heaven-sent gift' and described her as 'the best snuggler' who loved the attention of her siblings and the chance to excite them with her smiles."
The girls' funeral is on Thursday April 25, 2019.
Visitation is at St. John Catholic Church, Seymour, from 3:00 pm until the funeral mass at 6:00 pm.
