Suzanne Somers Death – With deep sadness, we announce the passing of Suzanne Somers, a beloved icon of classic television, famous for her roles in ‘Three’s Company’ and ‘Step by Step.’ Suzanne, aged 76, passed away in the company of her family at her home.
Suzanne’s journey was nothing short of extraordinary. She showed remarkable resilience in her battle against an rare form of breast cancer for over 23 years. On the eve of her 77th birthday, she peacefully left us at home. Her family, who had gathered to celebrate her birthday, now hold on to cherished memories of her extraordinary life.
Beyond being a gifted actress, Suzanne was a devoted wife and mother. She had eagerly anticipated celebrating her birthday with her “nearest and dearest,” which included her husband, Alan Hamel, their three children – Leslie, Stephen, and Bruce, along with his wife Caroline, and their six adored grandchildren.
Alan Hamel, Suzanne’s husband since 1977, spoke of her unwavering determination and commitment. Their enduring love story was marked by mutual support and admiration.
The exact cause of Suzanne’s passing remains undisclosed. She had courageously shared her renewed battle with breast cancer on Instagram, embodying the strength of a fighter ready to face the challenge once more, choosing traditional medical treatment under the care of a doctor.
Suzanne’s journey with cancer began in 2000. She also faced skin cancer and often embraced alternative and organic treatments, which sparked some controversy. Nonetheless, her spirit and determination remained unwavering.
Suzanne’s television career was illustrious, with appearances in 1970s shows like ‘The Rockford Files‘ and ‘The Six Million Dollar Man.’ However, her fame reached its peak with her role in ‘Three’s Company,’ which aired on ABC from 1977 to 1984. She also endeared herself to audiences as the cherished mom in the long-running kids sitcom ‘Step by Step.’

She will be remembered not only for her on-screen roles but also for her courage and determination in the face of adversity.
