Pretty popular musician of her time, played the accordion (and vocals on few song), often with another person (John Rosendahl, Sylvia Polso, William Syrjala). Apparently recorded 89 tracks, all of which (?) were released on compilations 02-04. Some albums were released but it's hard to tell what was official and what wasn't, I'm pretty sure she only recorded for singles though. Some interesting links on her:
