Autumn (Adele) Aubút

Autumn Aubút, 64, of Carlton, Minn. passed away suddenly from a brain tumor Saturday, June 29, 2019 with family by her side.

Autumn was born Adele Aubut on Nov. 20, 1954 to Thomas and Donna Aubut of Duluth, Minn. Autumn was enrolled in the Metis Nation of the Rising Sun, Quebec, Canada. She graduated from Central High School in 1972. She attended the University of Superior Wisconsin and earned a degree in art therapy. She spent the last 31 years working in Native American advocacy for women and children. She was a licensed foster care provider who shared her love of life with many children who adored her and called her their "GG."

Autumn was accomplished in many areas. She was a dancer, and studied ballet and jazz under Ora Manella. She was also an author, licensed massage therapist, phenomenal cook, and had a black belt in taekwondo. Autumn loved all things beautiful - gardening, flowers, painting. She loved going on drives and taking photos with her daughter Amy. Autumn loved to pray with people. She always dreamed big and she never gave up on her dreams.

Most importantly, she was dedicated to the Lord and her grandchildren. Autumn's message upon leaving was "Accept the Lord into your heart."
