Sarah Goldberg Obituary

Goldberg, Sarah Actress's smile lit up the room. Sarah Goldberg appeared as an actress in long-running TV shows such as Seventh Heaven, where she played the Rabbi's daughter and Judging Amy, House, Without A Trace, 90210 and movies such as Jurassic Park III and Training Day. She started her artistic career early as a bumble bee in Maria Tallchief's Cinderella at the auditorium. She loved taking bows at the end of performances. She loved being on the stage. Sarah attended Latin School of Chicago and received a BS in biology at Amherst College in 1996. Several years later, she went to Hollywood, not knowing anyone, and succeeded in getting numerous roles on TV. Her mother, Judy, said that instead of becoming a real doctor, she become one on TV. Sarah loved the outdoors - camping, waterskiing, fishing, sailing, and canoeing. Her father, Bill, said, "For years, she was my bowman. In recent years, I became her bowman." She was devoted to animal rescue. In Los Angeles, she rescued 2 dogs, Daisy and Bucket, to whom she was devoted. Sarah was kind, artistic, and energetic. Her smile lit up the room. She had great friends. Sarah, age 40, died peacefully in her sleep on September 27 of natural causes. She is survived by her loving parents, Judy and Bill Goldberg; her brother, Bradley (Michelle); her niece and her nephew. She is also survived by loving aunts, uncles and cousins. In lieu of flowers, please send contributions to the Sarah Goldberg Memorial Fund at PAWS, 1997 N. Clybourn Ave., Chicago, IL 60614. Services have been held. Interment was private.

I think of Sarah every day and my heart aches for her family. I mourn her loss. I miss seeing her and miss the privilege of looking forward to seeing her when she would be at the Nite Cap with her family. She was truly a captivating woman whose beauty was more than skin deep. She was in a class of her own. My heart is with the Goldberg Family and will always be.

I was shocked when I heard of the death of Sarah Danielle Madison (her stage name). I remember seeing her on 7th Heaven as Matt's wife and as a doctor on Judging Amy. Sarah was so talented and I was looking forward to seeing her in other shows. Thank Heavens for reruns. Sarah may have passed away but her memory and her work lingers on!!!! God Bless

What really resonates with me in the photos circulating of Sarah is the inner beauty that this woman radiated outwards.
You rarely see this quality in anyone today. I can tell that she was a kind and beautiful person.
I will pray for her and her family; but I know this lovely woman is in heaven.

To Sarah ~~~ It is still hard to realize you left the visible. You left so early. Touching all you met. I will continue to cherish the memories with you, including the special time you offered me your support by being my diving buddy during the Bahamas SRI Cruise. You held me by the hand and were there for me in the depth of the water. So graceful in your moves. As you were with your smile & friendships on the ground. Now you are flying high in the Light. Thank you for all you shared with us during your life, and the continued presence we will continue to feel from you. With deep Love. Sending Blessings & Strength to your family to carry on. With Love. Always. Fabienne

I was crushed to hear of Sarah's passing. She was as kind as she was beautiful. I served her and her family for years when they would be in Wisconsin at the Nite Cap. She was ALWAYS kind, positive, and smiling; the whole family is wonderful like that. My prayers and thoughts are with you, Judy, Bill, Bradley and Family. I will miss seeing her, serving her and catching up about what was going on in our lives. It was truly an honor, in every way, to have known her. May God give you strength during this time of distress and sorrow.

October 9, 2014

Sarah Goldberg was a gracious and respectable person whose acting work has done so much to bring so much joy to many of us in these troubled times hard to deal with (2 Tim 3:1). Perhaps more will continue to have positive experiences from a wonderful work that has had an meaningful contribution to life and its anxieties. We will miss her.

To The Goldberg Family:

I ask myself "why?" did this have to happen to someone so young, talented, gifted and respected. But I haven't got the answers. Sarah's joy of life is evident in her photo and from her work on "7th Heaven". I wish I had the opportunity to meet her and thank her for a job well done.
