Carol Jean Gast

Carol Gast, 73, of Weston, passed away peacefully on October 26, 2026, in Wausau, Wisconsin.

Carol was born on October 2, 1953, in Wausau, Wisconsin, to Alois and MaryAnn (Faulks) Gajewski. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and friend whose kindness, strength, and unwavering love for her family touched the lives of so many.

Carol was a woman of remarkable strength and determination. Throughout her life, she faced challenges with resilience and a spirit that never seemed to give up. She had a generous heart, cared deeply for those around her, and found her greatest happiness in the people she loved.

She especially enjoyed baking and cooking, often preparing enough food to feed an entire family gathering and then some. Her kitchen was a place of comfort, laughter, and togetherness, where family and friends always felt welcome. Above all, Carol treasured time with her children and grandchildren. The memories created through everyday moments, family gatherings, and the love she shared will forever remain a special part of their lives. Carol also shared a special bond with her beloved dog, Lola, whose companionship brought her much happiness.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband, Scott Gast; her son, Lance Gast; and her grandson, Lucas Gast.

Carol is lovingly survived by her son, Brad Gast, and his fiancée, Sara Tremelling; her grandchildren, Meghan, Maddie, Zach, and Leah; and her sisters, JoAnn Fink, Laurie Zarling, and Joyce Ostrowski. She is further survived by other relatives and many dear friends who will miss her dearly.

A memorial gathering for Carol will be held from 1:00 p.m. until 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 22, 2026, at Dale's Weston Lanes.

Carol's life was defined not only by the love she gave but also by the strength she demonstrated and the countless ways she made life better for those around her. Her family will carry that love, strength, and determination forward, honoring her memory through the lives they lead and the love they share.
