DUNKERTON-McKenzie "Kenzie" Rae Farmer, 15, of Dunkerton, was taken too soon on May 16, 2021 as a result of an auto accident. She was born on December 2, 2005 in Waterloo; the daughter of Chancey Edward Farmer and Tiffany Marie Tiedt. She was finishing her freshman year at Dunkerton High School. McKenzie was a shining light. Not only was she beautiful but had a beautiful, kind, and gentle soul.

McKenzie was open hearted and generous, eager to defend when she saw injustice. She was an advocate and supporter of Women's Rights as well as the Black Lives Matter movement. She was known for her tremendous sense of humor and strong political views. McKenzie was hoping to make a change in the world, and she made a difference to anyone that knew her.
