Marylin Ann Zoch

It is with both heavy hearts and joyful memories that we celebrate the life of Marylin Ann Zoch, 81, who peacefully passed away on October 9, 2025, in Centerville, Texas. Born on September 22, 1944, in Navasota, Texas, to Thomas Calford and Ruth Marie (Taylor) Largent, Marylin was a radiant light in the lives of her family and friends.

On October 9, 1962, Marylin married her beloved Kenneth Zoch, forming a bond that lasted an incredible sixty-three years. Their love story is one for the ages, filled with laughter, love, and countless adventures throughout their life together. Marylin lived in the Centerville community for forty-three years, where she became an integral and familiar face of the area.

As a devoted homemaker and the matriarch of her family, Marylin loved her family more than anything else. Her heart shined brightest in her role as a grandmother, as she devoted countless hours to sewing clothing for her grandchildren. Her creative spirit thrived through her love for crafting, whether it was sewing, gardening, canning, or making beautiful jewelry. She was a true presence in each of her grandchildren's lives, teaching them the value of creativity, love, and hard work.

Marylin was also a cherished member of the Cowboy Church of Leon County, where she found joy and community among fellow members. Her generosity and kindness left a lasting impression on all who knew her.
