Marilyn Yvonne Kershner, age 85, a longtime resident of San Leon, Texas, passed from this life on March 17, 2026, in League City, Texas. She was born on April 5, 1940, in Houston, Texas, to Charles Michel Font and Mary Lee Murray Font. Marilyn was one of six siblings.

Yvonne was an industrious and dedicated woman whose strong work ethic shaped a successful and varied career. She began as a hairdresser before moving into apartment management in the Houston area. Later, she earned her real estate license and built a respected career selling property throughout the San Leon, Bacliff, and Bayview communities for many years.

Giving back to her community was very important to Yvonne. She devoted countless hours volunteering with the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion. Above all, she treasured her role as a loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, and loyal friend.

Yvonne leaves behind a family who will cherish her memory: daughters Pebbles Teare and husband Josh, and Michelle Thomason and husband Paul; stepdaughters Terri Jones and husband Dan, and Karen Augustine; son Jimmy Shirley and wife Tasha; stepsons Richard Kershner and wife Christine, and Randy Kershner and wife Terry; sisters Patricia Pirtle, Paulette Walker and husband Don, and Charlotte Sullivan and husband Joe; eighteen grandchildren; several great-grandchildren; and countless extended family members and dear friends.
