Carolyn Fast Obituary
A lifelong resident of Fort Wayne, Suzie had a deep affection for her city. She took immense pride in following local athletes who graduated from area high schools and went on to achieve success in professional sports. Her passion for Fort Wayne extended to its landmarks, particularly the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo, where she delighted in learning the names and histories of many of the animals.
For 47 years, Suzie was a dedicated member of First Wayne Street United Methodist Church, where she found community and spiritual fulfillment. Her faith and commitment to her church were central to her life.
Suzie's legacy is one of love, community pride, and an enduring connection to the people and places that made her life so meaningful. May her memory bring comfort to all who knew her. No services at this time.

Susie was evening/night of the manager the lunch counter at Meyers Drug Store, corner of Broadway and Taylor in 1965-66. She was instrumental in introducing my wife and I. She was a part time waitress and I worked 2nd shift at GE. We´ve been married 59 years this coming September. Thank you Susie!!!!

Kenna, and family, I am not sure how to express memories, laughs, sweat equity, respect, time and many other feelings into words. I worked "under" Suzie for about 12 years, at Casas. Three years as a busser at Coldwater, age 21 saw a move to TJs (1yr) and 8 yrs at Parnell. Perspective about friends sure changes with age. Many years of Christmas cards reminded me that she hadn´t forgotten me. "NO MAN IS A FAILURE WHO HAS FRIENDS". Unfortunately we usually don´t hear how much we affect one another. I hope that at sometime I told her, she was good part of my life. She will be missed. Dawn
