Matt Okula is keeping his wife’s memory alive.
Less than one month after nursing influencer Hailey Okula, known as @rnnewgrads, died at 33 following the birth of their son Crew, her husband shared a glimpse into sweet moments together in a heartbreaking reflection on Easter.
“For those of you who knew Hailey, you know the incredible joy she brought to everything she touched,” Matt wrote on Instagram April 20. “For those who didn’t know her personally, Hailey had an endless love for the beach and traveling (though she absolutely HATED cold water).”
Alongside a slideshow of photos together at different beaches, he added, “These are some of my favorite memories we shared together, exploring sandy shores near and far, going on adventures that always felt like magic.”
Matt emphasized that the nursing content creator’s “light and love made every moment unforgettable.”
The firefighter—who was a first responder amid the devastating Los Angeles wildfires—also shared a message with his late wife.
