Payam Javan: In a somber turn of events, renowned American actress Suzanne Somers, celebrated for her roles in iconic sitcoms like “Three’s Company” and “Step by Step,” has passed away at the age of 76.

Succumbing to a 23-year battle with breast cancer, Somers peacefully departed at her home on October 15th, surrounded by her devoted husband Alan, son Bruce, and immediate family.

Despite facing criticism for her holistic approach to combating cancer through a chemical-free and organic lifestyle, Somers displayed resilience throughout her health journey. Having battled skin cancer in her 30s and a previous bout with breast cancer in her 50s, she confronted the disease once more in July, addressing the recurrence on Instagram and sharing her ongoing fight with her millions of fans.

As her family prepares for a private burial this week, the public is invited to remember and honor Suzanne Somers in a memorial scheduled for the coming month.
