      Mina was born January 7, 1885 in Clinton, Minnesota. She grew up there and had all her early schooling at Clinton. She moved with her family to the North West Territories in 1902. However, Mina moved back to the United States, finished her schooling and taught at Bethania College in Washington. Soon plans were afoot in Canada to obtain higher education for the many immigrant children who wanted nearby church institutions, thus the Norwegian Lutheran College Association was formed in 1910. In 1911, classes began in the Heather Brae House, later known as the Heather Brae Hotel. A year later, the first College building was erected, now known as Founder's Hall. Knut Lyseng was a member of the first Board of Trustees.

      Mina applied for and received the position of Preceptress (Dean of Women) and as a teacher of Domestic Science. Her salary was $450 and Room and Board. Mina was liked and was soon put on permanent staff. In 1914, Andrew Solheim married Mina and they moved to Red Wing, Minnesota where Andrew was ordained into the Lutheran ministry. They then came back to Camrose for several years, where he taught at the Camrose Lutheran College and he also preached in the area. After preaching at various churches (Bethlehem, Calgary, Red Wing, they moved to Vancouver in 1943 and remained there until his sudden passing in 1952.

      Ten years after Andrew's death, Mina married Jacob Davick and went to live in his home in Clinton, Minnesota. After Jacob passed away in 1969, Mina returned to the coast.

      In 1973, Mina moved to Camrose - but found the winters cold and very trying. She moved back to the Vancouver area and lived in Zion Park Manor, in Surrey.

      Mina passed away in April, 1981.
