Dana Green Allen, 60, of Center, Texas, passed away peacefully at her home on March 24, 2022, after a bravely fought battle with cancer. Dana was born on March 30, 1961 to Charles and Kathy Green in Morgan City, Louisiana. After graduating from San Augustine High School in San Augustine, Texas in 1979, she attended college at Stephen F. Austin State University. In 1982, Dana met and married her loving husband, David. The two went on to have three children, Ashley, Katelyn, and David.
Dana’s family and faith meant everything to her, and she devoted her life to raising her children and serving the Lord. She radiated kindness and love and was always first to lend a hand to someone in need. Her greatest joy in life was her six grandchildren, who she loved with every ounce of her being. When she wasn’t spending time with her grandchildren, Dana enjoyed traveling with her husband, sewing, gardening, and teaching children’s church.
