Hayley A. Plate

Hayley Ann Plate, 18, of Hilbert, WI, passed away on March 23, 2018, at her home in Hilbert. She was born November 8, 1999, in Appleton. She was the daughter of Kevin and Laurie (Mueller) Plate.



Hayley knew how to have a good time. She enjoyed watching Dora & Baby Jaguar, as well as Toy Story and Clifford. You could find her on her Kindle or taking selfies whenever she wasn’t busy listening to music, dancing, and singing with her dad. She was also fascinated with numbers, clocks, and watches. Her giggle was infectious and you could hear it throughout the house. She liked drinking soda and baking cookies. Her sweet tooth came outside, too. She was a pro at making smores around campfires. Hayley enjoyed swimming and liked the sand under her feet at beaches. Animals held a special place in her heart – her froggies, watching her birdies in the backyard, and her two special dog friends, Lady and Luna. The only thing more important than them was her family.



Hayley is survived by her parents, Kevin and Laurie; siblings: Alex (Bailey) Miller, Brent Plate, and Madison Plate; grandparents: Deb Mueller (special friend, Eldred), and Ervin Plate; aunts and uncles: Tim & Kim Mueller, Keith & Kristi Mueller, Jake & Nicole Balthazor, Curt & Becky Plate, Dean & Tia Plate, and Alan & Holly Plate; nieces and nephews: Cameron Miller, Braeden Miller, and Adrianna Miller; great-grandparents: Janet & Nic Steinmetz; and many cousins, especially Mackenzie and Mikayla Mueller. 



Hayley was preceded in death by her grandparents, Larry Mueller and MaryAnn Plate.
