Kayla was born on December 7, 2004 to Sean Labath and Jody Rippy in Davenport, Iowa.

Kayla was very quick witted and had a great sense of humor. She cared very much about her friends and was always there for them. Kayla was an animal lover, but cats and guinea pigs held a very special place in her heart. She loved listening to music all of the time and could often be found perfecting her make up look or drawing.
