Obituary

Heartbroken, the family of Taylor Ann Denny, born April 5, 1996, announces her passing after a tragic car accident on a snowy North Dakota bypass on October 5, 2018. Taylor was just twenty-two years old.

Taylor graduated from Verrado High School in May 2014. With great ambition and a zeal for creativity, Taylor pursued a career in cosmetology while still attending high school, graduating from West-Mec days later. She enjoyed a successful career with Great Clips where she was named “Stylist of the Year” in 2016. Most recently she styled for a loyal client base at Keep It Cut. Taylor was well loved not only by her clients but also by her many friends, as demonstrated by the massive outpouring of their kind words. The tragedy of Taylor’s death has revealed her short life was lived full of love for others, and in return, she was loved immensely.

Taylor’s memory will be cherished always by her parents, Wade Denny and Julie (Frazier) Denny, and her three younger brothers; Kolton, Logan, and Joshua. She is survived by the biological daughter she adored, Jana Renee, who by Taylor’s gift of adoption lives to be her greatest legacy. Taylor is treasured by her large extended family including her three living grandparents; Kathleen Denny and Jim and Delores Frazier, and dozens of aunts, uncles, and cousins. Taylor is predeceased by her grandfather, Charles A. Denny, Jr.
