Obituary of Amber Brignole

Born on June 28, 1985 in Massachusetts to parents Annette Jean Foster and Stephen Foster, Amber Marie Brignole lived an amazing life that was unfairly cut short on September 25, 2015. After attending Licking High School, Amber studied at Drury University and worked toward her Master’s Degree at Missouri State University. Since 2010, Amber devoted her time, love, and energy to helping victims of domestic violence at Christos House in West Plains. On May 17, 2007 she became the loving wife of Anthony Brignole and together they had a little girl named Taylor Elizabeth born on May 20, 2009. She was a free spirit who touched the lives of so many in the community. She was fiercely loyal to her friends and loved her family dearly. She enjoyed art, writing poetry, photography, and vacationing on the coast of Maine. But her true passion was spending time with her daughter, whom she loved “to the moon and back.” Amber was a fantastic mother, a trait she learned from her own, and she raised Taylor to be the brave and wonderful person she continues to be today. In addition to her parents and her husband and daughter, Amber is survived by her two brothers Stephen Foster Jr and Daniel Foster, her sister-in-law Victoria Foster, her grandmother Marguerite Curtis, her mother-in-law Michelle Howell, her father-in-law Danny Howell, her sister-in-law Kylie Howell, her beloved dog Spencer, and various cousins, aunts and uncles who live across the country. She was preceded in death by her grandfather Chester R. Curtis and her Uncle John Curtis, both of whom she is with now. Amber was a bright light in this world, and those who had the privilege to know her were lucky and will continue to carry her memory forward. We will miss her dearly, but she will be with us always.
