Brenna Lynn Amos

Brenna Lynn Amos, 33, of Stewartville, passed away suddenly on July 11, 2023 as a result of an automobile accident.

Brenna was born July 12, 1989 in Rochester, Minnesota to Donald and Marla (Carpenter) Battey. She was a 2007 graduate of Century High School.  During middle school and high school, Brenna participated in the National Competition Cheerleading Team as a flyer, and this team participated in national championship competitions.  She was accepted into the competitive University of Minnesota Co-Ed Cheer Team, but was not able to attend.  Brenna went on to obtain two Associates Degrees in Liberal Arts and Surgical Technology.  On September 6, 2014, Brenna was united in marriage to Chad Amos and they were blessed with three sons.  Brenna worked as a surgical technologist and most recently as a cast technician at Olmstead Medical Center.

Brenna loved country music and attended many country music concerts and festivals.  Some of her favorite musicians included Morgan Wallen, Mitchell Tenpenny, and Kane Brown.  She had a particular interest in new musical talent and sought this out at festivals.  Brenna was an excellent cook, often sharing recipes with friends, and enjoyed fine dining.  She had a deep passion for makeup and fashion and enjoyed shopping.  Brenna and Chad recently started playing golf again, and she enjoyed watching the boys swim in their swimming pool.  Brenna had a strong love of animals, especially cats and dogs, and lots of them.  She enjoyed gardening and life in the country.

Brenna was a loving, loyal and helpful friend and family member.  Brenna taught the neighbor kids how to ride their bicycles without training wheels when she was little.  She was an outstanding Aunt to her nieces and nephew and was always willing to babysit when the need arose.  She would drop anything to help a friend in need, even if it involved travelling long distances.  Her main passion in life was her family, particularly her three boys.  Her feisty personality manifested in being very protective of her children and the first one to speak up if something wasn’t right.  She had very close and loving relationships with her boys, always challenged them to accomplish more, anticipated their needs, and helped them deal with the bumps and bruises of life.  Brenna is deeply missed by her family and friends.

Brenna is survived by her husband, Chad; sons, Brayden, Camden and Owen; mother, Marla Battey; father, Donald Battey; sisters, Shayla (Brandon) O’Reilly, Alanna Battey; nieces, Piper and Mavis O’Reilly, and Violet Amos; nephews, Jack O’Reilly and Arlo Amos; uncle, Dennis (Selena Fox) Carpenter; aunts, Julie Carpenter and DeeDee (David) Peterson; grandfather, Donald E. (Suzanne) Battey; cousins, Neal (Kaycie) Peterson and Nolan (Katie) Peterson; in-laws, Scott and Tammy (Rysted) Amos; brother-in-law, Travis Amos (Anna); and a host of other family and special friends.  Brenna was preceded in death by her grandparents, Darrel and Avis (Moore) Carpenter, and Patricia (Holets) Battey (Conrad Mader).
