Pansy Lorene Post Markert, 99, passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 5, 2026, of natural causes at [Hills Home] in Kerrville, Texas.

Pansy was born in New Baden, Texas, and grew up in Bryan, where she attended school and made many fond memories. From an early age, her bright personality and ready smile drew people in. She had a laugh so joyful and contagious that when she laughed, everyone around her laughed too.

Pansy worked for many years as a cashier at Oar’s Supermarket in Bryan, where she loved meeting new people and made friendships that lasted a lifetime. It was during these years that she met her first husband, Robert “Bob” Eastman. Together, they raised two wonderful sons, Robert Charles (“Bob”) and Donald Wayne (“Don”).

Family and faith were the heart of Pansy’s life. She and Bob were lifelong Baptists and active members of their church in Beaumont, Texas. They taught Sunday school and led the church’s youth group, opening their home to countless young people who found warmth, laughter, and love within their walls.

Later, Pansy found love again when she married Roland Markert in Bay City, Texas. With Roland came another loving family, and his daughters welcomed Pansy warmly. Together, Pansy and Roland discovered a shared passion for model trains. They spent many weekends traveling to model train conventions, meeting others who shared their hobby, and building a collection that brought them endless joy.

Pansy was preceded in death by her parents, Jesse Rae and Robert Jirden Post; her husbands, Robert Eastman and Roland Markert; her sons, Bob and Don; and her sisters, Elsie Post, Gladys Mae Morris, and Lilly Maudell Cocking.

She leaves behind her loving daughter-in-law, Linda; grandchildren; nieces; nephews; and many friends and extended family who will forever remember her warmth, her laughter, and her boundless love.

Pansy lived well, laughed often, and loved deeply. Her spirit will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of all who knew her.

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart,

and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

— Matthew 11:28–30
