  Noted events in her life were:

• She was buried after 7 September 1879 in the Sowles Cemetery in Pleasant Township, Steuben County, IN.

There is one large monument that serves as the gravestone for Christian, his first wife Henrietta, his second wife, Rhoda, his daughter, Laura, and his son John A. The center portion of the pedestal monument is made of rose colored marble and capped with a carved vaulted granite top piece with a large letter F cut in relief. The inscription on the top of the front face reads "Christian Fast, Feb. 12, 1814 - Dec. 13, 1898". Below that and on the left half it reads "Henrietta, his wife, Nov. 10, 1820 - Dec. 8, 1859" while on the right half it reads "Rhoda M., his wife, Dec. 12, 1835 - May 27, 1911". On the face of the left side it reads "Laura E. Fast, July 9, 1870 - Sept. 7, 1879" while the face on the right side reads "John A. Fast, Aug. 19, 1857 - July 20, 1875". Note that the names of the son and daughter are apparently inscribed on the side of the wrong mother.
