Brianna was born on September 13, 2000 in Stillwater, OK and was a Senior at Edmond Santa Fe High School. Her greatest love was young children. Brianna spent most of her time with her nieces and nephews. She loved to show them the wonders of learning and spend time playing with them. Her biggest ambition in life was to become a mother and a nurse.
Brianna will forever be remembered for the unselfish love that she gave, utterly without condition, to all that she touched. Even in her last days, she managed to bring a smile to the faces of everyone who visited her. Her love for others was a blessing that extended beyond family and friends, and the world became a little less beautiful the day Brianna departed from us.
She is survived by her parents Staci and Nick Amato; father Bryan Baldwin; sisters Rebekah Amato and Rachael Baldwin; brothers Clinton Hodge (Ashley), Ryan Amato (Megan), and Ben Amato (Nicole); grandparents Luci LeForce, John & Sandy Horstman, and David and Joanne Hester; aunts and uncles Daryl & Shandi Horstman, John & Charlotte Seng, Marvin Horstman, Richard & Glenda Lundy, Brittany Parajuli, Nina Solis, Larry & Wanda Amato, Ron & Karen Johnson, Tom & Sherrian McEnaney, Terry & Manny Hernandez, Tony Hester, Pam Timmermeyer, and Amanda Salemy; nieces and nephews Lilly and Rylee Hodge, Gunnar, Gracie, Colton, Lilly, and Hunter Amato, Trey Ramos, Giovanni and Gitano Amato; cousins Kendall and Ellie Horstman, Oakley Dupape, Joshua Salamy, Tarik & Amber Obedda, Ricky, Randy, Michael, and Paulina Solis, Tommy, Donald, and Keith McEnaney, Tonya Amato, Jerri Barnhart, Kathy Hester, and Leslie Durant; and an abundance of other loving family and friends.
