Televangelist Tammy Faye Messner dies - U.S. Life - MSNBC.com
Tammy Faye Messner, who as Tammy Faye Bakker helped her husband, Jim, build a multimillion-dollar evangelism empire and then watched it collapse in disgrace, has died. She was 65.
Messner had battled colon cancer since 1996 that more recently spread to her lungs. She died peacefully Friday at her home near Kansas City, Mo., said Joe Spotts, her manager and booking agent.
A family service was held Saturday in a private cemetery, where her ashes were interred, he said.
Tammy Faye was quite the character but now she's gone. Her long battle with cancer was dignified and inspiring. She's healed now.
