According to the question of scala78:

Karen Jønsson died of pneumonia in 1942, aged 30. It was before the era of modern antibiotics and pencillin.

[northatlantic78rpm]

Hun døde af lungebetændelse. Det var før pencillinets tid.

@northatlantic78rpm Correct year of birth was 1909, not 1912.

[tepedor66]

hun var en stor kunstner - tekster om musik- sad lige i øjet. Sr bare hvordan Lars HUG i dag scorer point på det - hm, mange tror det er ham, som har komponeret de ting - men nej , ...

Jag visste faktiskt inte att hon dog redan 1942, så tråkigt, hon var väldigt ung , vad hände ?
