I notice there have been many questions about Tammy, who I gather has recently died.
Who was she?

Tammy Fay Baker Messner.
She and her husband the Reverand Jim Baker formed a group called PTL (Praise the Lord). They had services on TV and were among the first considered Evangelical Christians to market their beliefs to the paying customer. They were convicted of fraud several years ago. They divorced later and she remarried.
More recently Tammy Faye Baker Messner was on some reality TV show that included the porn star Ron Jeremy and the wanna-be rapper Vanilla Ice.

Tamara "Tammy" Faye Messner (born March 7, 1942 - July 20, 2007) was an American Christian singer, evangelist, entrepreneur, author, talk show host, and television personality. She was the former wife of televangelist, and later convicted felon, Jim Bakker, and she co-hosted with him on The PTL Club from 1976 to 1987. She was known for her tendency to wear heavy makeup, particularly mascara and false eyelashes. More recently, she was well-known for her appearance as a participant in the 2004 season of the highly rated reality show, The Surreal Life. In May 2007, it was revealed that she was under hospice care for inoperable lung cancer. She died on the morning of July 20, 2007 at the age of 65.

Tammy Faye Messner was the former wife of PTL founder, Jim Bakker. They had 2 children, Tammy Sue and Jamie (Jay). She later divorced her scandal ridden husband and married church builder, Roe Messner.
Tammy Faye is well known for her garish makeup and false eyelashes. But she is recently better known by younger folks for her battle with cancer (first colon and then spread to her lungs).
People say she lost her battle with cancer when she died on Friday. But I feel she won. She kept on going even after her diagnosis and was still going 2 days before her death, taping an interview with Larry King, which aired on July 19, 2007 on CNN and was repeated on CNN's Headline News on July 20th, the day of her death.
As I said, Tammy Faye won her battle. She is with the Lord now. It is cancer that lost it's hold on her.
Tammy Faye is an inspiration to us all. God Bless her and her family.

She was the wife of a guy named Baker.
He, along with her, started a television preaching program.
They were all so emotional and lovey-dovey.
He was found out to be stealing money that people sent in ....spending it on things like a $10,000 dollar house for their dog.
He went to jail.
She divorced.
It was all a sham and brought great dsgrace upon the name of Jesus.

When she was alive nobody cared about her. She and her two husbands scamed the people that supported her. Why is it that now everybody thinks she is great because she just died?
