Peggy Fast

A memorial service for Peggy Fast was held on Friday, April 14, 2023, at the Hyke Funeral Home in Redfield, SD, with Shane Croeni as celebrant. Hyke Funeral Home of Redfield, SD, was in charge of arrangements. Peggy was born in Winner, SD and raised in Keyapaha, SD, on the family farm. She was the fourth of six children. Peggy attended country school and graduated from Gregory High School in 1968.

Peggy married Roger Allen Fast on May 9, 1970. They resided on the family farm near Clearfield and to this union four children were born.

Roger passed away in 1984. In 1985, she and the kids packed up and moved to Redfield and made it their home. Once settled, Peggy began her passionate work-life. Peggy was a jack of all trades and had multiple talents, especially hidden ones, but her favorite job was cleaning houses for individuals in Redfield. She lived by being able to help whomever, however and whenever. As many would say, she lived at work but loved her family and friends more. Her hobbies included traveling all over the state, to watch all of her grandkids in their numerous sporting events and activities. She also enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, collecting villages, tending to her garden with her green thumb, and always adopting others’ treasures.
