Though she was best known for her high heels, Suzanne Somers was buried wearing an exceptional pair of Timberland boots.

Her devoted husband, with whom she shared over 45 years of marriage, had customized them with loving messages - a tribute to their love of the outdoors and hiking.

According to one friend who spoke to Page Six, "He at some point gave those to her and personalized them for her."

Alan Hamel decorated his wife's boots with messages to express his everlasting love and devotion.

An outpouring of love was felt in Palm Springs, California, as friends and family gathered to commemorate the life of the iconic "Three's Company" star, who passed away on October 15th at the age of 76 after suffering from cancer.

The event featured a glowing tribute to Suzanne, which included an image created by her daughter Leslie Hamel and quotes from the singer-actress herself: "It's not who you are. It's not what you have. It's not what you do. It's only about who you love and who loves you . . . and I love you.

Alan reminisced fondly of the unique cocktail party held in Suzanne's honor at Stone Eagle Club.

He encouraged guests to dress according to her style: "colorful cocktail attire with sparkles and feathers." It was a great occasion ideally suited for Suzanne's personality.

It was an evening of warmth and love in honor of the beloved Suzanne Somers.

Bruce, her son, took charge as master of ceremonies. At the same time, the hour-long program included videos, toasts from family members, a stunning performance by her granddaughter Daisy, and cherished family photos.

Not to mention, the tables were adorned with Suzanne's signature pink roses.

Attendees at the gathering were gifted with Floating Gardenia-scented candles, a favorite of Somers, and bracelets inscribed with a meaningful quote from him.

At the memorial service, special guests included Caroline, Camelia, Violet Somers, Ziane Hamel, Daniel Mahoney, and Maureen Gilmartin.

Bruce Somers shared heartfelt words about his mother: "My mom always had the capacity to make anyone feel special. Her mysterious power enabled her to show how much she cared."

When Suzanne Somers was on "Three's Company" in her 50s, she had already experienced cancer three times.

Having dealt with skin cancer in her 30s and uterine hyperplasia later on, Somers received a breast cancer diagnosis. Talking to CBS News in 2020, she said that her long-term health resulted from living an overall healthy lifestyle.

Suzanne Somers died a day before her 77th birthday.
