Cynthia “Cindy” Lynn (Allum) Atchison, 54, of Augusta, passed away on July 19, 2020 after a long battle against pancreatic cancer.

A celebration of life will be held in Augusta at a later date.

Cindy was welcomed into the world on August 13, 1965 in Browning. She spent most of her childhood and teenage years around Choteau and the Bitterroot Valley with her many cousins.

She was a loving wife and best friend to her husband Larry Atchison. She was also a very proud mother and grandmother. When you didn’t see her friendly face at Allen’s Manix Store, you could find her camping, hunting, or fishing with her kids and grandkids. She loved to spend her time outdoors enjoying the sunshine.

Cindy is survived by her husband Larry; brother Mike; brother Grant; son Donald; daughter Tara; daughter Lauren; son-in-law Jason; grandchildren Mikinly, Donald, Wesley, Ronyn, and Myles (and later, twin granddaughters Kimber and Rayna Reishus); and many beloved in-laws, cousins, and extended family.

Cindy was a “second mom” to many of her children’s friends and was always there to help anyone in need.

She was preceded in death by her father Benjamin Allum; mother Cookie Vielle; and brother Elvis.
