Hailey was born on July 5th, 1999, in Austin, Texas. She was a 2017 graduate of Dripping Springs High School and a 2021 graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York. Hailey loved everybody without condition. She especially loved God, her family, her boyfriend 1LT Matthew Delaney, the Army, and her many close friends. She was as good an officer as there was in the Army. Professional, proficient, and personable, she not only cared for the people she served with, but she loved them. She also loved life and all its facets.... books, art, sports, travel, history, nature, and music. She put effort into living life and experiencing all the beauty that life has to offer. She could find good in the worst situation. Hailey was a faithful Catholic and was confident where she would be spending eternity.
“Hailey was an exceptional leader,” said Lt. Col. Joseph M. Byerly, 4th Squadron Commander. “As the Saber family mourns her loss, we are reminded of the courage and commitment that she displayed each day. She was a true example for others to emulate.”

She is also survived by her Paternal Grandfather Thomas Hodsden of Bellows Falls, VT, her nephew Mark, and many aunts, uncles and cousins who loved her.
