Paula "Feather" Augusta

January 30, 1951 - March 24, 2020

Paula Jeanette “Feather” Robinson Augusta, 69 of Altus, Oklahoma peacefully transitioned away from this life on March 24, 2020 in Edmond, Oklahoma after living powerfully through cancer. Paula was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma on January 30, 1951 to Roberta C. and Johnny C. Robinson. She was the oldest of seven children and grew up in Oklahoma where she attended Dundee Elementary in Wirt, Oklahoma and graduated from Southside High School in Elmer, Oklahoma in 1969. She raised her daughter in Tishomingo and lived out the rest of her life in Altus, Oklahoma where she proudly worked as a waitress at Western Sizzlin. Survivors include daughter Miranda Augusta of Edmond, Oklahoma, grandsons Aubree, Caleb, Sky and granddaughter Remy of Edmond, Oklahoma; siblings Johnny Robinson and wife Pat of Clarita, Oklahoma, Tommy Robinson and late wife Teresa of Tishomingo, Oklahoma, Lucy Henderson and partner Tom of Levant, Maine, Becky Hoy of Bangor, Maine, and Dennis Robinson and wife Jeannie of Sulphur, Oklahoma, nieces Autumn Cooper, Alisha Robinson, Rainey Robinson, Amie Robinson, nephews Shane Henderson, Bill Studt, Wesley Robinson, and Lesley Robinson, as well as many cousins, great nieces and nephews, so many beloved friends and people who knew her as an amazing and gracious server. Feather loved nothing more than being a mom to her daughter Miranda and a grandmother to Aubree, Caleb, Sky and Remy. She loved everyone she knew hard and spent her life spilling that love on to those she loved most. She loved life and spent each moment trying to stay in the present and most who knew her were impacted by her lively and kind spirit. She felt it was her purpose to make people laugh and through even her final days made sure people around her reason to smile. She spent time in Costa Rica in February, swimming in the ocean, drinking wine with her daughter, dancing beneath the stars and catching hermit crabs and butterflies with her daughter and granddaughter and told us to look for butterflies to know she is near. Paula raised her daughter Miranda alone, modeling a strong work ethic and teaching Miranda the value of becoming a powerful, independent woman; occasionally, this independent attitude her daughter portrayed was sometimes annoying to her! She treasured being a mother and lived for her daughter, a daughter whose accomplishments she frequently shared, even with strangers. Her and Miranda spent their whole lives together and Paula guided Miranda into becoming the mom she is to her children. Miranda is so thankful and lives with no regrets of their relationship, having a free spirit nonjudgmental mom laid the path Miranda walks with her children. Aubree was her first grandchild and he made her a Grammy. They were close, and they lived together when Aubree was little. She helped Miranda raise her Aubree and they grew together as a family. Together, Grammy and Aubree skateboarded, mountain climbed, fished, cooked (meat), traveled. Aubree held her hand, he was protective of her and he led their little family of three from the time he could crawl. Caleb became part of Paula’s heart the second they met and it started with a kiss on Caleb’s forehead and the words “Hey Handsome.” Their connection was undeniable from that moment and he and Grammy met. She loved him as she loved them all and Caleb was able to experience that love in a real meaningful way. They shared a love of laughter, being in the present, and she truly enjoyed their adventures together. Sky made Paula a GG, he had some challenges with “Grammy” and this was a point of contention, but Grammy/GG took it all in stride, being who she was for each of her grands. They share a love of napping, exploring their world, fishing, watching tv, walking dogs, and a love of knives and other weapons (despite her free love, hippie beliefs)! She accepted Sky for who Sky is and was always excitedly talking about how Sky would want to be with her, even though he was a teenager. After three grandsons “the boys”, Miranda finally gave Paula a granddaughter, Remy, a little girl who is, performing, nature, saving the world, cooking and caring for dogs. Caring for her GG in her last moments is something their family and GG will never forget. Remy lives freely with care, love and nurture as her GG would want. Caring for her own pets, Keegan, Nana, Zari, Rabbit and Elsa, fostering pets, gardening, reading, and having margaritas with friends were among her favorite pleasures. She loved her work family and her job. Upon hearing she was sick, she said she couldn’t believe she’d never be able to go back to Western Sizzlin’. Most who knew her described her as loving, fun, crazy, giving, nurturing, wild, and was always laughing. She embodied tolerance, freedom, and was a die-hard, free spirited hippie who left a mark on the lives of many. Throughout life and through her final months, Paula lived life on her terms with a positive attitude and a peaceful heart. She protected those she loved with ferocity and continued smiling her beautiful smile until she let go of this life. She encouraged all she knew to love each other fully, accept each other tolerantly, to live each minute with gratefulness and to always look for butterflies… Services celebrating the life of Feather will be held at 2:00 PM on Saturday, June 6, 2020 at the Medicine Park Event Center, 19001 Highway 49, Medicine Park, OK 73557.
