Beloved actress and health advocate Suzanne Somers left this world at the age of 76, having bravely fought breast cancer for many years.

On October 15th, in the gentle early morning, Suzanne passed away peacefully in her home. Her passing was announced by her agent, who shared the deep sadness yet profound respect surrounding the occasion.

Suzanne’s family had gathered to celebrate her upcoming birthday on October 16th. While the celebration took an unexpected turn, they chose to honor her beautiful life and shared their gratitude for her army of loyal fans and supporters.

For 23 years, Suzanne demonstrated remarkable resilience in her battle against an aggressive form of breast cancer. Her final moments were filled with warmth and love, surrounded by her devoted husband Alan, her son Bruce, and other close family members. A private family burial will be held, with plans for a memorial event in November.

In a July interview with Fox News, Suzanne had opened up about her condition, which had unfortunately returned. She candidly spoke, “I have been living with cancer for decades now, always fighting to keep it at bay using both conventional and alternative medicine.” Her defiant spirit was evident as she approached every recurrence as a battle she was familiar with, voicing her determination each time.

Many remember Suzanne for her iconic role in the 1977 sitcom “Three’s Company,” where she charmed audiences as Chrissy Snow alongside Jack Tripper and Janet Wood. This role catapulted her into the spotlight, and from then on, her career expanded into various ventures.

Beyond acting, Suzanne became the face of the famous ThighMaster, a popular exercise device co-owned with her husband that reportedly generated sales reaching $300 million. But her entrepreneurial spirit didn’t stop there. Her name adorned various products from jewelry to health supplements, advocating always for a lifestyle filled with wellness.

With 27 published books, 14 of which became New York Times bestsellers, Suzanne shared her insight and passion for life. A staunch believer in organic and chemical-free living, she credited much of her health practices to navigating her battle with illness.

Since they married in 1977, Suzanne and her husband Alan shared an enduring love. They have a son named Bruce and are blessed with three grandchildren—Camelia, Violet, and Daisy—who carry forward her legacy.

Hours before her departure, Alan penned a heartwarming, emotional note filled with love for his wife. Shared with People, the letter was wrapped lovingly in pink peonies. Its heartfelt words painted a poignant picture of enduring affection, illustrating a love that went far beyond usual expressions and encompassed every nuance of their life together.

The note explored the expansive nature in which Alan used the word “love”—from a simple sign-off in emails to expressing satisfaction over a meal. It beautifully conveyed his daily appreciation for people and moments that brought joy, underlining what truly mattered to him: the incomparable relationship he shared with Suzanne.

“There’s an entire universe in what ‘love’ meant to us,” he wrote, reflecting on the unquantifiable depth of their bond. This touching letter described the deep-rooted connection he experienced during their 55 years together, emphasizing their shared life and the cherished “Us” that defined their relationship.

Alan’s heartfelt tribute serves as both a memory of their life together and an expression of his profound loss. In these difficult times, our hearts reach out to her family, friends, and countless admirers who deeply mourn this irreplaceable soul.

We hold Suzanne Somers and her family in our thoughts, sending them comfort and support as they navigate this sorrowful journey.
