  Noted events in her life were:

• Birth Image: 4 February 1883, in Celina, OH.

• She was buried after 18 May 1963 in the Elm Grove Cemetery in Saint Marys, OH.

The Elm Grove Cemetery is well maintained and there are many old stones to be found there. This one particular stone has the names of Charles C. Fast and his wife, Eva Belle Fast inscribed on it. The dates for Charles only show his birth year as 1881 and there is no year of death. That could mean that he might be buried elsewhere or perhaps when he did die, the year was never engraved into the stone. The years for Eva Belle Fast reads 1883 - 1963.
