Myrtle Frisk

Myrtle M. Frisk, age 98, died Friday, December 13, 2013, in Eventide at Sheyenne Crossings in West Fargo, ND.

Myrtle Marion Olson, the daughter of Hannah and Gustav Olson, was born in rural Dale, MN, on December 29, 1914. She grew up and received her education in the Dale community. As a young lady, she lived and worked in Detroit Lakes, MN.

On February 20, 1939, Myrtle was united in marriage to Malcolm Frisk. They lived in Detroit Lakes and later moved to Fargo, ND. While Malcolm was in the service during WW II, Myrtle, and their son, James, returned to Dale.

After Malcolm's discharge from the service, the family moved back to Fargo. For a number of years, Myrtle worked at St. Luke's Hospital in Fargo, as a surgical aide.

Her faith and her family were important to Myrtle. She was a meticulous housekeeper, an excellent cook, and will forever be remembered for her baking skill. She made wonderful brown bread, date cookies, donuts, and caramel rolls.

In 2007, Malcolm and Myrtle moved to Sheyenne Crossings. Malcolm died in 2009. In addition to Malcolm, Myrtle was preceded in death by her parents; three sisters, Lilly Brinkman, Violet Showman, and Linnea Way; and a brother, Helmer Olson.

Myrtle is survived by her son, James (Julie) Frisk, Fargo; three grandchildren; and eight great-grandchildren.

Visitation for Mrs. Frisk will be Tuesday, from 2 PM until 3 PM, in Bethel Evangelical Free Church, Fargo.

Her funeral is Tuesday, December 17, 2013, at 3 PM, in Bethel Church. Arrangements by
