Suzanne J. Crough[1] (March 6, 1963 – April 27, 2015) was an American child actress best known for her role as Tracy Partridge on The Partridge Family.[2]
Career
On The Partridge Family, a musical sitcom TV show which ran from 1970 to 1974, Crough played Tracy Partridge, the youngest Partridge sibling, who played the tambourine.[3] After The Partridge Family, she made several TV movies and made guest appearances on television shows, including Mulligan's Stew.[3] Her last credited on-screen role was as Kate in the 1980 TV movie Children of Divorce.[3]
Post-acting life
Crough graduated from Los Angeles Pierce College and until 1993 owned and operated a bookstore. She married William Condray in July 1985; the couple had two daughters.[4]
On March 2, 2010, during a reunion interview with several co-stars from The Partridge Family on The Today Show, she stated she was a manager at an OfficeMax in Bullhead City, Arizona.[5]
Death
Crough died while sitting at her dining room table at her home in Laughlin, Nevada, on April 27, 2015, at the age of 52.[5][6] The cause of death was not immediately reported, but Las Vegas police issued a statement that it was due to a "medical episode" and was "not suspicious".[7] According to the coroner of Clark County, Nevada, Crough's cause of death was arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, a rare form of cardiomyopathy.[8]
Several of Crough's Partridge Family co-stars paid tribute to her, including Shirley Jones and Danny Bonaduce. Bonaduce lamented, "Everyone thought I'd be the first Partridge to go. Sadly it was little Tracy. Suzanne was a wonderful lady and a good mom. She will be missed."[9]
