.BLENCOE, Iowa -- Maurine L. Frisk, 74, of Blencoe died Thursday, Sept. 7, 2006, at a Sioux City hospital.

Services will be 10 a.m. Monday at Blencoe United Church of Christ, with the Rev. John Noer officiating. Burial will be in Graceland Cemetery in Blencoe. Visitation will be 5 to 8 p.m. today, with a prayer service at 7 p.m., at Rush Family Care Service in Onawa.

Maurine was born Sept. 6, 1932, at Grant Center, Iowa. She was a lifelong resident of Blencoe. She graduated from Blencoe High School in 1950 and attended N.B.T. at Sioux City. She married Bill Johnson.

She later married Irvin Frisk on June 12, 1973. The couple enjoyed farming together and also owned and operated I&M Taxes and Bookkeeping. For years she had been bookkeeper for Hanson Cattle Co. The couple were avid square dancers, and Maurine's love of music extended to serving as organist at both Blencoe U.C.C. and First Congregational U.C.C. of Onawa.

Her affiliation with the church was very important in her life. She was a member of Blencoe United Church of Christ, served as deaconess and was a member of Women's Fellowship. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and caregiver to all. She was an excellent cook and will long be remembered for her delicious cinnamon rolls.

Survivors include her husband, Irvin of Blencoe; a daughter, Betheen McClure of Sergeant Bluff; two sons, Bruce Johnson of Sergeant Bluff, and Craig Johnson of Blencoe; two stepdaughters and their husbands, Nancy and Mike McClure of Tekamah, Neb., and Karen and Tim Lawson of Blair, Neb.; 12 grandchildren; seven great-grandchildren; a sister, Phyllis Mander of Onawa; and many other relatives and friends.

She was preceded in death by her parents.

Note: Services will be at Blencoe United Church of Christ. Saturday's paper incorrectly indicated a different church.
