Adalyn "Addy" Atkins

Adalyn Atkins, just 2 years old, lovingly known as Addy, was born May 12, 2023, and passed peacefully on December 23, 2025 due to brain Cancer, ETMR tumor. In her short time on this earth, Addy changed lives and touched everyone’s heart around her.

Addy was pure light with curious eyes, a soft smile, and a presence that wrapped everyone around her finger. She was so beyond Sassy, and truly had a personality of her own. She loved being outside, and gave everyone the kind of love people search a lifetime for. Her laughter, her expressions, and even her quiet moments left a permanent imprint on everyone who had the honor of knowing her and loving her.

She is deeply loved and forever cherished by her mother, Rianna Schmidt, and her step-father Zachary Lynch, who loved her as his own. Addy was also surrounded by the love of her aunts, Marissa and Rachel, her grandparents, along with many family members and friends who will carry her memory forward.

Addy is reunited in heaven with her cousin, Grayson, who passed at the age of seven in 2024. We know they are together and having the most amazing play date.

Though her time here was far too short, Adalyn’s impact was immeasurable. She will always be remembered for the love she gave, the strength she showed through our journey, and the way she never stopped smiling … not once. And the way she forever changed the hearts of those who loved her. She was the sweetest little girl anyone could know, and she had a laugh that will echo in our minds until the end of time.

Loving her was the greatest gift we could ever receive - and the deepest pain—we will ever know.
