Jane Allen Street died on October 19, 2026, in Dallas, Texas. She was born in Salem, Massachusetts, on November 24, 1944, to Margaret Buckler Allen and Russel Greene Allen. Throughout her lifetime, however, she maintained a long connection with Texas.
At the time of her birth, her family was living in Swampscott, Massachusetts, a suburb of Boston. Her family roots, however, were in Pampa, Texas, where her mother was born and where her parents were married.
Jane was initially joined by a brother, Russel, and a sister, Mary. They were later joined by sisters Judy and Susie. Jane’s early schooling began at Shore Country Day School, where she attended through her early school years.
In 1959, Jane enrolled at Chatham Hall, a private girls’ boarding school in southern Virginia. She graduated in 1962 and moved to Dallas to attend Southern Methodist University, where she was an active member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority.
In 1973, Jane married Gustavus Leroy Street, with whom she enjoyed 53 special years of marriage. Those years were highlighted by the arrivals and marriages of their two children and the births of two grandchildren. Jane also enjoyed being a member of the Junior League of Dallas, where she actively participated in charity benefits over the years.
Jane is survived by her husband, Leroy; her son, Geoffrey “Geoff” Street, and his wife, Lisa; her daughter, Sara “Sally” Batt, and her husband, Evan; her grandson, Russel; and her granddaughter, Jane. She is also survived by two siblings, Mary Cox of Houston and Judy Shelton of Austin.
Jane was, and will be, remembered as a gracious, courteous, loving, generous, and outgoing person.
A memorial service will take place at 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, November 4, 2026, at Sparkman Funeral Home & Cremation Service, 1029 South Greenville Ave., Richardson, Texas 75081.
The family deeply appreciates the outpouring of love during this difficult time. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to AWARE North Texas.
