Hamar Arbeiderblad was the first to announce the death of popular artist GT-Sara.
According to the newspaper, she died at Kongsvinger Hospital, where she was admitted after a fall.
Gerd Miriam Thoreid, who was born in Hamar on September 17, 1924, turned 96.
Popular
The popular artist was known for creating warmth and laughter by singing and playing the guitar. She was also a range teller. Often times, the stories were often crude, even though she never hid her strong relationship with God.
The name GT-Sara was given to her by Dag Frøland after participating in the radio program “Har du lyst har du lov”, where she sang “Vill ni se en stjärna”.
The artist’s name was given on its own, Frøland thought, since Gerd was always on the move and had the initials GT (Gerd Thoreid).
Many television appearances
GT-Sara made her first television appearance in 1975, but it was far from the last.

She is also considered the oldest Norwegian debutant of all time. In 2007, when he was 83 years old, he released the album “GT-Sara on the go with Full Roll”. The album was on the VG chart for a long time. The song “Balloonvisa” also made it to the top of Norsktoppen, where it was on the chart for six weeks.
Will be missed
One of the many who had a close relationship with the artist is the mayor of Gjøvik, Torvild Sveen. She started organizing the so-called “Ljugerkvelder” in Biri 20 years ago, and GT-Sara was invited to the show several times.
– There is no one who has managed to create as much laughter in the room as GT-Sara did, says Sveen.

Sveen thinks it was sad to hear the news of GT-Sara’s death.
– It is simply a national icon that has disappeared, says Sveen.
