Kennedy was born on January 24, 2018 at HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital in Effingham, IL, the daughter of Taylor R. Waldhoff and Mark Schmidt. Kennedy loved to dress up in her princess gowns, singing and dancing with her big sister Spencer. No baby doll felt unloved. She was always such a good momma, wrapping up her babies and taking care of them with love. Her little brother Lincoln was her special baby doll. She enjoyed going for rides on the motorcycle. Kennedy loved Snapchat filters and taking selfies with her mom. If you would ask Kennedy what her favorite color is, she would say the RAINBOW!
