Tammy Faye Bakker Dead at 65

Tammy Faye Bakker, or Tammy Faye Messner as she is called now, was a guest on Larry King Live on Thursday, then on Friday Tammy died. She was 65 pounds, and had colon cancer that metastasized to her lungs then ended her life. Her son Jay Bakker said in the Revolution Church newsletter:

After fighting cancer for eleven years, my mother passed away on July 20 at 4AM. She had a very peaceful death and is no longer in pain. To grant her wish she was cremated today and her ashes were buried at a private ceremony. The service was performed by my good friend Randy McCain of Open Door Community Church in Sherwood, AR.

Thank you to everyone for their prayers and support over the years - it has helped me more than you will ever know. Please continue to pray for her husband Roe as well as the rest of my family.

A public ceremony is currently being planned - an update will be sent once the details are finalized along with where to send flowers. I ask that all press would please allow me to grieve privately at this time. Thank you.
