Maudane Allen

Maudane Linch Allen was born on November 8, 1937, to William and Vesta (Hare) Linch in Iredell, Texas. She peacefully departed this life on November 29, 2024, in Lubbock, Texas.

A proud graduate of Iredell High School, Class of 1956, Maudane embraced life with passion and purpose. On December 1, 1958, she married the love of her life, Milton Allen, in Dallas, Texas. Together, they nurtured a deep bond through their shared interests in music, photography, and community service.

Maudane dedicated several years to her career at the Army and Air Force Exchange, excelling in various roles until her retirement in 1997. Alongside Milton, she established a photography business in Duncanville, Texas, capturing cherished moments from community sporting events and special milestones. Their commitment to their community extended beyond business; they brought joy to nursing home residents by performing music with a small group of friends.

Maudane's family was her greatest treasure, and her warmth and spirit will be profoundly missed. She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Milton Allen; her sons, Brian "Keith" Allen and Brad Lee Allen; and her sister, Grace Sinclair.

She is survived by her son, Craig Allen, and his wife Kelli; daughters-in-law Pam Allen and Beverly Allen; her sister, Juanita Good; as well as grandchildren, Mike Allen, and his wife Cynthia; Cade Allen, and his wife Kristal; Jess Allen; Madi McKinney, and her husband Kevin; Sam Allen; Avery Allen; and five great-grandchildren, who will continue to honor her cherished memory.

Graveside services, under the direction of Combest Family Funeral Homes, will be held on Saturday, December 14, 2024, at Mitchell Cemetery in Iredell, Texas, at 11 a.m.
