Lillian Hirschi-Frisk

Ruth Lillian "Lil" Hirschi-Frisk left this world to be with her Lord Saturday March 25, 2023. She was 101 years old. Lil was born in Anoka, Minnesota to Carl and Helga Malm, immigrants from Smedjebacken, Sweden on January 23, 1922. Lil later met the love of her life, Charles F. "Chuck" Hirschi when she was 16 and they were engaged to be married a week before Lil graduated from Minneapolis Roosevelt High School in 1941. They married on December 19, 1942, while Chuck was home on a 10-day leave from the Army. Chuck passed away in July 1983. They had celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary the previous December. Lil held several positions after graduating from high school and attending Minneapolis Business College, but her long-term job was with River Motors and Anoka-Minneapolis Bus Company, where she worked from 1953 to 1974. Lil and Chuck had three children, Patricia Yvonne, John Fredrick, and Michael Carl. John passed away in November 2022. Lil had four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. After Chuck passed away, Lil was alone until 1994 when she renewed a friendship with her former boss, Rueben Frisk, who had just lost his wife of many years. They were married April 29, 1995. They remodeled Rueb's house on Tyler Street in Anoka. Rueb passed away in December 2005. Lil loved to travel, dance, play cards, fish, go boating, bowl, sing, read, celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas, and dote on her kids, grandkids, and great-grandkids. Lil was a longtime member of Anoka Covenant Church. Lil was preceded in death by her parents, brothers Arthur Malm and Herbert Malm, husbands Chuck Hirschi and Rueben Frisk, son John Hirschi, and stepsons James Frisk and Steven Frisk.
