Tamara "Tammy" Faye Messner (March 7, 1942 – July 20, 2007) On July 21, 2007, FoxNews.com reported that Tammy Faye Messner/Tammy Faye Bakker had succumbed to her 11-year battle with cancer. What had started as colon cancer, recently spread to her lungs. She died in her home, said her booking agent, Joe Spotts, at the age of 65. A family service was held the morning of July 21 in a private cemetery, where her ashes were interred. She had frequently spoken about her medical problems, saying she hoped to be an inspiration to others. "Don't let fear rule your life," she said. "Live one day at a time, and never be afraid." She had written on her Web site in May that the doctors had stopped trying to treat the cancer. She died the day after the airing of her interview on Larry King Live on CNN. According to CNN.com, the family requested that King officially report the news on his show July 21.
