Mom was born on January 12, 1940 in Filadelfia Paraguay, the eldest of nine children. She accepted Christ as her Saviour at age six, with her mother at her side. At age 14, she moved to Winnipeg with her family and adjusted to life here. She was baptized at 16 in the North Kildonan Mennonite Brethren Church, where she remained a lifelong active member. She married teacher Rudy Fast on February 25, 1961 with whom she spent 46 blessed years. Mom's unwavering faith was evident in how she lived her life, now a legacy and inspiration for many. Mom valued family relationships highly, seeking every opportunity to bring us together. She will be dearly missed.

Condolences & Memories (1 entries)

I will always remember Mr and Mrs Fast because they were the deacons for our family for many many years from North Kildonan Mennonite Brethren Church. She and her husband both were such sincere and real people and loved with a genuine love. I always enjoyed a friendly chat with her whenever our paths would cross. My parents Heinrich and Justa (Friesen) Pauls held Mr and Mrs Fast in high regard. She will be missed. Condolences to the family. - Posted by: Reinhold Heinrich Pauls (friend from church from many years ago) on: Apr 06, 2015
