Kayla was born on May 30 ^th , 1990, at Texas Co. Memorial Hospital in Houston, Mo. She grew up in Willow Springs and was a member of the W.S. Class of 2008. Kayla received numerous awards and medals when she became involved in F.F.A., where she went on to become secretary and also president of the chapter. Kayla was currently in her final semester to achieve her bachelor's degree at Drury University in Cabool. She had aspired to become a social worker upon completion. She worked at McDonald's in Willow Springs since she was 16 and was a manager.

Kayla's greatest accomplishment and proudest moment in life began on June 13 ^th , 2012, when she became a mommy and blessed this world with her son Taven Shaddyx. Kayla was an amazing mother, treasured daughter, grand-daughter and niece, the greatest big sister, and most of all a true friend to all of those she loved.
