Somers was born Suzanne Marie Mahoney in San Bruno, California, the third of
four children in an Irish Catholic family. Her mother, Marion Elizabeth (n�e
Turner), was a medical secretary, and her father, Francis Mahoney, was a laborer and gardener.
In September 1964, she was accepted at San Francisco College for Women (commonly referred to as "Lone Mountain College") on a music scholarship, a Catholic school that is now a campus of the University of San Francisco. She left during her sophomore year, after becoming pregnant. She gave birth to her son Bruce Jr. on November 8, 1965, after marrying the boy's father, Bruce Somers. She left her husband three years later and began modeling. In 1971, her son was severely injured when he was hit by a car.
In 1968, Suzanne won a job as a prize model on the short-lived game show, The Anniversary Game hosted by her future husband, Alan Hamel. She has been married to Hamel since 1977. Hamel was her business manager during the failed negotiations which led to her leaving Three's Company.
