Hailey Morgan Caplinger

April 28, 1992 - June 22, 2020

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved, Hailey Morgan. Hailey recently celebrated her 28th birthday surrounded by her loved ones. Even though her life was cut short, she affected so many people throughout her lifetime. She was a friend to all whom she encountered. She brought so much joy and love to anyone that knew her. Hailey was quite witty and very brilliant. She always had a smile on her face even on some of her toughest days. She will be fondly remembered for her gentleness, kindness, and her huge giving heart. Hailey obtained a bachelor’s degree in marketing from FGCU in Ft. Myers, FL in 2016. Hailey had a passion and a love for all things Disney and Harry Potter. She was definitely a little kid at heart. She was so much fun and looked forward to watching her niece and nephew grow up. She couldn’t wait to take them on a trip to Disneyworld when they were old enough to remember. She overcame many obstacles and did so with such grace and positivity. Her attitude towards life was infectious. When she was facing a medical battle, she worried about how her family was dealing with it all and made it a point to pray for them. She was a fighter and was as tough as they come. She will always be our hero. She succumbed to complications of diabetes in her home surrounded by her family this past Monday. We know that she is now without pain and is at rest in the arms of our Heavenly Father. Hailey is survived by her adoring parents, Randy and Renee Caplinger; her sister, Taylor; brother-in-law; Aaron; nephew, Wylder; niece, Riverly; several loving aunts, uncles, and cousins; and her best friends, Shakniqa and Sarah. Please join us for a Gathering of Friends on Saturday, June 27, 2020 at Oakley-Cook Funeral Home from 10 am to 12 pm. The address is 2223 Volunteer Parkway, Bristol, TN 37620.
