We now know the names of two children who were found dead last week following a standoff in eastern Wisconsin.
An obituary has identified the girls as 4-year-old Mattelin “Mattie” Annie Samson and her 4-month-old sister Hailey Kaye. Hailey’s last name was not listed. The obituary said Mattie was named after her late father Matthew Samson who 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.
They were found dead in a home in Seymour last week along with a 35-year-old man who still has not been identified. The case has been turned over to state investigators, but police have said they’re not looking for any other people of interest.
