Hayley Beadman’s family thought the 24-year-old, who had been dubbed “the sickest woman in Adelaide”, had turned the corner after complications from Covid-19.

But tragically, Hayley died on Tuesday, a month after she was taken by ambulance to Flinders Medical Centre.

“Bad luck mummzaleny,” – were Hayley’s last words to her mum Justine Beadman as nurses wheeled her to quarantine on November 24.

“Oh bummer,” Ms Beadman remembers saying as she was told to stay in the waiting room.

Moments later, Hayley’s heart stopped and she was placed in an induced coma.

Doctors worked to slowly wake up and on December 16, Hayley opened her eyes.

Hayley’s family fully believed “she’s slowly coming back”.

But her condition deteriorated, leaving parents Justine and Wayne heartbroken.

Hayley on Tuesday lost her month-long battle with myocarditis, a condition which causes the heart to inflame, after she contracted Covid-19 while in Bali. “She had so much love for life,” Ms Beadman said.

“Her final memory will be the lovely holiday she had with the man that she loves,” Ms Beadman said. Hayley and her partner of five years, Ben Moore, had only recently bought a home together in Aldinga.

Mr Moore said Hayley taught him to be unashamedly himself and to “try and have fun”.

Mr Moore called the ambulance on November 24, only a day after the couple arrived home from a holiday in Bali.

Mary Moore, Mr Moore’s mum, remembers Hayley for being “so loving and accepting”.

“I was hoping that when she came back, I could pay more attention to her quirky side,” she said.

While Hayley’s brother Danny Beadman, remembers his older sister as being “a safe person”.

“She’s someone I told lots of things to before anyone else,” he said, adding: “There was never any judgment.”

Mr Beadman said his daughter’s ability to “connect to people” was something he truly admired.

“She was the sort of person you’d meet and within a couple of minutes you’d feel really at ease with her.” One of Hayley’s many close friends, Moni Burrell, told The Advertiser that Hayley was “magical”.

“The warmest of people and you felt her warmth and kindness instantly,” she said.

“I just don’t understand why she was taken from us so soon,” one friend said. Picture: Facebook

“You just constantly wanted to be near her because her energy was so contagious.

“I just don’t understand why she was taken from us so soon. She was just the most kind, joyful, clever, young women.”

Nurses, doctors and volunteers, who they said all fell in love with Hayley, would talk to their daughter even while she was unresponsive in a coma.

“The staff at Flinders Medical Centre were amazing,” Mr and Ms Beadman said.
