She was so young, what did she die of?

Wow...:rip: She was also in The Waltons as Patsy Brimmer for like an episode or two.

According to IMBD, her Walton's appearance in 1977 was her last acting appearance. She acted between 74-77.

What is ironic is that we as MTM fans for the most part are fortunate that will the exception of Ted Knight, the rest of the cast is still with us. Then you read something like this. She was only 49.

RIP.
