Obituary
Deseret News - 3/11/2009
Our beloved mother and grandmother, M. Allene Atkinson, age 96, was called to her heavenly home to be joined by her eternal companion and family there on March 7, 2009. She resided at 67 West 950 North in Farmington, Utah at the time of her death.

Allene was the oldest of five children. Born to Clarence and Mabel Orton on May 17, 1912 in Ogden, UT, Allene married George Holliday Atkinson in the Logan Temple on September 6, 1935. George preceded her in death in March of 1984.

A devoted member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Allene served the Gospel in many capacities including two full time missions. She also served with her husband in the Ogden Temple.

Her family (and genealogy) were the center of her life. Inspired by her pioneer heritage, she determined early in her youth to live an exemplary life, and leaves behind a legacy of faith, persistence, love and charity. She also worked as a professional teacher, developing a life long dedication for helping children to learn.

Allene is survived by her five children: Ulene (George) Pemberton, Bluffdale, UT; Kaye (Cliff) Brady, Riverton, UT; Keith Atkinson, Los Angeles, CA; Dale Atkinson, Yakima, WA; and Lynette (Rich) Siler, Farmington, UT; 30 grandchildren, 97 great-grandchildren and four great-great-grandchildren. She is also survived by one sister, Nona Jean (H. Claire) Searle, Holladay, UT; and one sister-in-law, June (Eldon) Orton, North Ogden, UT.
