Street

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Paula Street, beloved wife, mother, sister, and friend, who departed this world on November 8, 2026, at the age of 75. Born on October 14, 1951, in Dallas, Paula lived a life full of joy, service, and love, leaving behind a legacy of warmth and kindness.

Paula was the cherished daughter of William Prewitt and Lorraine Mayfield, who predeceased her along with her sister, Julia. She is survived by her devoted husband, James Street, with whom she shared an extraordinary 47 years of marriage. Their journey began in the serene mountains of Taos, NM, where they wed on August 17, 1979, before embarking on a memorable adventure to Red River.

Paula was a dedicated and loving mother to her son, Jared, and a beloved sister to Kelly, Jane, and Cindi. She also leaves behind a host of nieces and nephews who adored her vibrant spirit and generous heart.

An alumna of Cedarhill High School, Class of 1968, Paula continued her education at North Texas State University in Denton, earning degrees in history and education in 1972. Her passion for travel and people led her to a fulfilling career as a flight attendant with American Airlines. Embracing the world with open arms, Paula delighted in discovering new places and meeting new faces.

Upon retiring, Paula and James embraced a life of exploration, traveling across the country in their RV and sharing precious moments together. Her zest for life was evident in her love for nature, often hiking with friends and enjoying the great outdoors.

Paula was an integral part of the Denton Bible Church community, where she found joy and purpose in Bible study, choir, and mission trips to Israel and Germany. Her faith and compassion touched countless lives, and she cherished her church family deeply.

Known for her optimism and infectious sense of humor, Paula was a beacon of unselfishness and generosity. Her radiant smile and gentle spirit brightened the lives of everyone she encountered.

A service celebrating Paula's life will be held on November 19, 2026, at Denton Bible Church, located at 2300 E University Dr, Denton, TX 76209. The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful nurses at Medical City Plano for their compassionate care.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in memory of Paula, reflecting her enduring love for children and giving spirit. As we remember Paula, we celebrate a remarkable life filled with love, laughter, and light. She leaves behind a world that is better for having known her, and she will be deeply missed by all whose lives she touched.
