Chrissy Snow and Carol Foster-Lambert were Suzanne's most iconic roles. She was wonderful and we were so lucky to have her. RIP Suzanne!

So very sad. R.I.P. Suzanne. You're out of pain now.. Thanks for all the memories.

Suzanne did claim that she and John reconciled just prior to John's death in September 2003.

In hindsight, knowing what we know now, did Suzanne seem frail recently? Here is a video on Facebook from back in April 2023. Did she seem very mobile and active even six months prior to that? Here's another video from that same time frame. Does her voice on there, sound different than it used to be?

I noticed the change too and then it was reported in the summer that the cancer came back, I figured it didn't look good. I knew she was almost 80.

The news wasn't shocking, but it's still sad.

Even though Suzanne Somers was almost 77 and she publicly announced she had cancer, it is still a shock to learn she had died.

She is a decade younger than her husband.

Suzanne Somers' costars Joyce DeWitt and Patrick Duffy remember their 'dear and deep friend'
Duffy, a co-star on Step By Step, said he'll miss the "phone calls, the emails, the visits, and the meals and laughter."
By Dustin Nelson October 16, 2023 at 01:14 PM EDT

Former costars and friends of Suzanne Somers are mourning the passing of the Three's Company and Step By Step star, who died on Oct. 15 at age 76.

"As with everyone who knew her, I was stunned yesterday by the news that my dear and deep friend Suzanne had passed," Patrick Duffy, who starred alongside Somers on Step By Step from 1991 to 1998, told PEOPLE on Monday. "For that brief moment, it was unbelievable. But indeed, she has passed. She beautifully passed through my life on this leg of her endless journey. My task now is to remain on the roadside as she continues on."

Duffy also said he'll miss "the phone calls, the emails, the visits, and the meals and laughter." His statement continued: "But the dialogue of deep and thoughtful, and silly and frivolous continues. My conversations with her now will be held solely through my daily Buddhist practice."

"I am not alone in wishing I had one more face-to-face with her and [her husband] Alan, but had we had that meeting last Friday I would still be yearning for just one more today," Duffy added. "It is the painful beauty of our present human reality. What strength and support I can muster I send to Alan and [her son] Bruce and her family and to her I say; When the stone of your life dropped in this pond you made quite a ripple my friend. Thank you."

Similarly, Joyce DeWitt, a costar of Somers on Three's Company, offered a statement to PEOPLE. "My heart goes out to Suzanne's family," DeWitt said. "They are a very close family — deeply connected and caring one to the other. I can only imagine how difficult this time is for all of them."

She continued, "I'm sure Suzanne was greeted by Angels into the loving wisdom waiting for all of us on the other side, and I hope that will assist her family's hearts in healing as they travel through this difficult time."

Actor Richard Kline, who played Larry Dallas on the series, extended his sympathies to Somers’ husband, Alan Hamel, telling People: “Suzanne was a joy to work with. She totally owned and created the character of Chrissy. My condolences to Alan and her family.”

For some reason, I'm sort of shocked to learn that Suzanne Somers was actually in real life, older than both John Ritter and Joyce DeWitt. Suzanne was born in 1946 whereas John and Joyce were born in 1948 and 1949 respectively. On Three's Company, Chrissy always seemed to come across like Jack and Janet's naïve, unsophisticated little sister.

She was older than John and Joyce? I never knew that. I thought she was the youngest.

Sad!!

Suzanne Somers was shown singing at her own memorial

"There wasn't a dry eye in the room," Somers' husband Alan Hamel says of playing a video of Somers singing a touching rendition of Leon Russell's 1970 classic, "A Song for You," which was "our song." The late Three’s Company star died in October at age 76.

Its very sad......

I don't mean to sound morbid, but it just hit me that with Suzanne's passing, Joyce DeWitt is now the sole surviving original cast member from Three's Company. Richard Kline was around in the first season, but he was technically, a recurring character until about the fourth season, when he was officially promoted to the main cast alongside an incoming Don Knotts.
