Suzanne Somers, the iconic TV star known for her high heels, was laid to rest wearing a pair of Timberland boots. These boots held a significant meaning for her, customized with loving messages from her devoted husband of more than 45 years, Alan Hamel. The couple enjoyed hiking and had a love for the mountains, which is why Hamel gave her the personalized boots. He wrote colorful messages on them, including phrases like "In Love Forever," "We Are One," and even "Twice a Day," which hinted at their passionate love life.

A celebration of Suzanne Somers' life took place in Palm Springs, California, where friends, family, and even billionaire Charles Koch gathered to remember her.

The memorial had a theme of "Tequila & Tributes" and guests were asked to dress in "colorful cocktail attire with sparkles and feathers" to honor Somers' vibrant personality.
