context_page_description: Anna-Lisa Öst was a Swedish gospel singer and recording artist, who was popular with both Swedish and Swedish-American audiences in the 1940s and 1950s. She performed in folk costume and was better known as Lapp-Lisa, a name reflecting the Sami heritage of her home district.
  Anna-Lisa Vikström was born October 8, 1889 in the village of Mark, about 20 miles northwest of Vilhelmina, Västerbotten. In 1924 she married postal worker Johan “Jonte” Öst of Hedemora, with whom she had two daughters: Gun, whom they adopted in 1927, and Siw, who was born in 1935. Anna-Lisa Öst died April 27, 1974 and is buried at Hedemora Church.
  In 1904 Vikström nearly drowned in a boating accident and vowed to dedicate her life to God. At the age of nineteen she was saved, and in 1911 she became an officer in the Salvation Army. She continued in this post until marrying Johan Öst in 1924.
  After her marriage Anna-Lisa Öst continued her spiritual work and toured Sweden and the other Nordic countries as a singing evangelist. She was not the first gospel singer known as “Lapp-Lisa”, but she was the most famous one. Lisa Thomasson had previously gone by that name.
