Taylor, daughter of Jeff Kuenzel and Maria NEE Hellebusch, was born June 10, 2005, in St. Louis. She was in the 8th grade at Washington middle school. She enjoyed deer hunting, showing hogs in 4-H, playing volleyball, hanging out with her friends, and volunteering with All Abilities Athletics. She was the historian for FFA in the middle school, played the trombone in band and was the treasurer for Go Hog Wild 4-H club. Taylor was an amazing big sister to Tori. She had a passion for the outdoors and loved spending time on the farm with her favorite uncles. She also enjoyed the girl time she had with her favorite aunts and was spoiled by her grandparents. She had aspirations of becoming a special education teacher someday. Everywhere she went she had a smile on her face.
