Goldberg died in her sleep of natural causes at her family’s cabin, her mother, Judy Goldberg, told the Chicago Sun-Times. She said a heart ailment is suspected, although an autopsy failed to determine the exact cause of death.

In “7th Heaven,” which ran from 1996 to 2007 on the WB network and then on the CW, Goldberg played a Jewish medical student, Sarah Glass, who fell in love with and married the son of a Christian pastor.

She was sometimes credited under the stage name Sarah Danielle Madison. She also had a recurring role on “Judging Amy” among her television and movie credits. — ap
