A Celebration of Life will be held Friday, May 19, 2023, at 11 a.m. at Granite Falls Lutheran Church in Granite Falls. Interment will follow at Sparta Cemetery in rural Granite Falls. Visitation will be Thursday, May 18, 2023, from 5 – 7 p.m. at Wing-Bain Funeral Home in Granite Falls and will continue one hour prior to the service at the church. Lin was born February 12, 1950, in Milnor, N.D. to Harold and Lois Frigen. She attended Milnor High School, graduating in 1968. She attended St. Luke’s Hospital School of Nursing where she became a registered nurse on August 27, 1971. Lin moved to Crookston to pursue her nursing career at Riverview

Hospital. In Crookston, she met her husband-to-be, Ken Dahl. They were united in marriage on May 11, 1974, at Milnor Lutheran Church. The couple moved to Granite Falls where Lin continued her career as an RN at both the Granite Falls Hospital and Manor. She started in medical/surgical and transitioned to long term care and geriatrics. Lin also spread her wealth of knowledge by teaching nursing classes through Minnesota West Community and Technical College. Lin and Ken welcomed their daughters, Nicole Lynn and Kyrstin Lee. The family of four lived on a farm in rural Granite Falls where they were active members of 4-H. Lin loved to travel and the family would make yearly visits to Florida. Once the girls graduated, she and Ken continued to travel. They explored by air, land, and sea. Lin would book the vacation and Ken would oblige. She was also an impressive seamstress, sewing coordinating outfits for family and friends. Lin retired in 2012 and she spent her free time trying to keep her husband in line and traveling to all of her grandchildren’s events. She loved the title of Grandma/Mia and her grandchildren did no wrong. She loved them to the moon and back and they thought the world of her. She attended cattle shows, tennis matches, plays, concerts, basketball games, and wrestling matches just to cheer on her grandkids. If there was an event, she was there. When she wasn’t chasing the grandkids around, Lin flexed her green thumb with outdoor plants, flowers, and asparagus hunting. Lin’s summer weekends were spent at Lake Madison with her family where she always brought a fresh bag of asparagus for the grill. In December 2019, Lin was diagnosed with aggressive ovarian cancer. Over the next three years, she was treated with many different forms of chemotherapy until all options were exhausted. She was able to remain in her home until just days before her passing. On her and Ken’s 49th wedding anniversary, she became a resident of the Granite Falls Nursing Home.
