Taryn was born on October 16, 2000, to Terry Allen and Amy Jo Robinson in Clovis, NM. Taryn loved the outdoors, hiking, going to the park, and flowers, especially sunflowers. Her favorite animal was a sloth, favorite color was orange and she liked going on long drives to clear her mind. One of her favorite shows was Grey's Anatomy. Anything that screamed "adventurous" already had her name on it, she was so outgoing. She enjoyed hanging out with friends and going out. Taryn loved babies and wanted one of her own. She loved being a second mom to her friend's children. Taryn loved to tell stories about adventures or things that had happened in her life. She liked to explore abandoned places. Back in 2018 when she graduated, she visited an abandoned mental hospital. She was a very outdoors person.
