Suzanne Somers’ widower Alan Hamel revealed that the late actress was buried in a pair of hiking boots that held a special meaning for them both.
The “Three’s Company” star died on Oct. 15 at the age of 76 after a long battle with breast cancer. During an interview with People magazine, Hamel shared the story behind the footwear that Somers had on when she was laid to rest.
“Suzanne never really had boots designed for hiking on the rocks, so I ordered the Timberland boots,” Hamel recalled. “[I] made my gift personal by drawing on them in a few words that represented our life to some degree and made them very personal to Suzanne.”
On Nov. 30, Somers was honored by family and friends during a celebration of life at the Stone Eagle Club in Palm Desert, California.
“Suzanne loved cocktail parties and we threw her a great one,” Hamel told People.
Family and friends will pay tribute to Somers’ life and legacy at a second memorial in her hometown of San Bruno, California this week, according to People. Moments from both memorials will be released later this month.
