In lieu of flowers, the family asked that any donations be made in her memory to the Olivia Newton-John Foundation Fund.

The Australian actress announced that she was diagnosed with breast cancer that had spread to her spine. She famously beat breast cancer twice but was diagnosed again in 2017. She then had to undergo surgery, chemotherapy, and breast reconstruction.

All these struggles prompted the woman born on September 26, 1948 to establish the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Center in Melbourne, Australia.
