She was the youngest member of The Partridge Family, and played tambourine.

Not much information, other than it was sudden.

She was younger than the brother who changed suddenly half way through the series? Doesn’t matter, she was too young to die. I wonder what happened.

I remember how saddened I was to learn, several years ago, that the actor who played Reuben Kincaid had died.

I never got to tell him how his line “A bachelor is never without his can opener!” changed my life.

Gosh. I was just thinking of her and the rest of the Partridge Family cast (as part of this thread http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?p=18296495) . Sad that she died so young.
