Tammy Faye Messner Dies at 65

Tammy Faye Messner Dies at 65
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- 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.
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." But she told well-
wishers in a note on her Web site in May that the doctors had stopped
trying to treat the cancer.
In an interview with CNN's Larry King two months later, an emaciated
Messner - still using her trademark makeup - said, "I believe when I
leave this earth, because I love the Lord, I'm going straight to
heaven." Asked if she had any regrets, Messner said: "I don't think
about it, Larry, because it's a waste of good brain space."
For many, the TV image of then-Mrs. Bakker forgiving husband Jim's
infidelities, tears streaking her cheeks with mascara, became a symbol
for the wages of greed and hypocrisy in 1980s America.
She divorced her husband of 30 years, with whom she had two children, in
1992 while he was in prison for defrauding millions from followers of
their PTL television ministries. The letters stood for "Praise the
Lord" or "People that Love."
Jim Bakker said in a statement that his ex-wife "lived her life like the
song she sang, 'If Life Hands You a Lemon, Make Lemonade.'"
"She is now in Heaven with her mother and grandmother and Jesus Christ,
the one who she loves and has served from childbirth," he said. "That is
the comfort I can give to all who loved her."
Messner's second husband also served time in prison. She married Roe
Messner, who had been the chief builder of the Bakkers' Heritage USA
Christian theme park near Fort Mill, S.C., in 1993. In 1995, he was
convicted of bankruptcy fraud, and he spent about two years in prison.
Through it all, Messner kept plugging her faith and herself. She did
concerts, a short-lived secular TV talk show and an inspirational
videotape. In 2004, she cooperated in the making of a documentary about
her struggle with cancer, called "Tammy Faye: Death Defying."
"I wanted to help people ... maybe show the inside (of the experience)
and make it a little less frightening," she said.
More recently, Tammy Faye kept in the public eye via her Web site.
"I cry out to the Lord knowing that many of you are praying for me,"
Messner wrote in a July 16 post in which she indicated she weighed 65
pounds. "In spite of it all, I get dressed and go out to eat. ... I
crave hamburgers and french fries with LOTS of ketchup! When I can eat
that again, it will be a day of victory!"
In 2004, she appeared on the WB reality show "The Surreal Life," co-
starring with rapper Vanilla Ice, ex-porn star Ron Jeremy and others.
She told King in 2004 that she didn't know who Jeremy was when they met
and they became friends.
Messner was never charged with a crime in connection with the Bakker
scandal. She said she counted the costs in other ways.
"I know what it's like to hit rock bottom," she said in promotional
material for her 1996 video "You Can Make It."
In the mid-1980s, the Bakkers were on top, ruling over a ministry that
claimed 500,000 followers. Their "Jim and Tammy Show," part TV talk
show, part evangelism meeting, was seen across the country. Heritage USA
boasted a 500-room hotel, shopping mall, convention center, water-
amusement park, TV studio and several real-estate developments. PTL
employed about 2,000 people.
Then in March 1987, Bakker resigned, admitting he had a tryst with
Jessica Hahn, a 32-year-old former church secretary.
Tammy Faye Bakker stuck with her disgraced husband through five stormy
years of tabloid headlines as the ministry unraveled.
Prosecutors said the PTL organization sold more than 150,000 "lifetime
partnerships" promising lodging at the theme park but did not build
enough hotel space with the $158 million in proceeds. At his fraud
trial, Jim Bakker was accused of diverting $3.7 million to personal use
even though he knew the ministry was financially shaky. Trial testimony
showed PTL paid $265,000 to Hahn to cover up the sexual encounter with
the minister.
Jim Bakker was convicted in 1989 of 24 fraud and conspiracy counts and
sentenced to 45 years. The sentence was later reduced, and he was freed
in 1994. He said that his wife's decision to leave him had been "like a
meat hook deep in my heart. I couldn't eat for days."
While not charged, his then-wife shared during the 1980s in the public
criticism and ridicule over the couple's extravagance, including the
reportedly gold-plated bathroom fixtures and an air-conditioned
doghouse.
There was even a popular T-shirt satirizing her image. The shirt read,
"I ran into Tammy Faye at the shopping mall," with the lettering on top
of what look like clots of mascara, traces of lipstick and smudges of
peach-toned makeup.
In a 1992 letter to her New Covenant Church in Orlando, Fla., she
explained why she finally was seeking a divorce.
"For years I have been pretending that everything is all right, when in
fact I hurt all the time," she wrote.
"I cannot pretend anymore."
In the end, there wasn't any property to divide, her attorney said. The
Bakkers lost their luxury homes in North Carolina, California and
Tennessee, their fleet of Cadillacs and Mercedeses, and their vintage
Rolls-Royce.
Her autobiography, "I Gotta Be Me," recounts a childhood as Tammy Faye
LaValley, one of eight children of a poor family in International Falls,
Minn. Her biological father walked out. She was reticent about her age,
but a 2000 profile of her in the Star Tribune of Minneapolis said she
was born in March 1942.
She recalled trying eye makeup for the first time, then wiping it off
for fear it was the devil's work. Then she thought again.
"Why can't I do this?" she asked. "If it makes me look prettier, why
can't I do this?"
She married Bakker in 1961, after they met at North Central Bible
College in Minneapolis. Beginning with a children's puppet act, they
created a religious show that brought a fundamentalist Protestant
message to millions.
A secular TV talk program, the "Jim J. and Tammy Faye Show" with co-host
Jim J. Bullock, lasted just six weeks in early 1996. Shortly after it
went off the air, she underwent surgery for colon cancer.
She said afterward that she endured bleeding for a year because she was
embarrassed to go to a male doctor. And she wore her makeup even in
surgery.
"They didn't make me take it off," she said. "I had wonderful doctors
and understanding nurses. I went in fully made up and came out fully
made up."
Survivors include her husband and her two children, Jamie Charles Bakker
of New York City and Tammy Sue Chapman of Charlotte.
Spotts said that the family is considering a public memorial service for
the coming weeks, but that nothing had been finalized Saturday.

She should have been stuffed and put in a museum so that pilgrims could

Jesus, I keep my bung super clean by wiping it thoroughly with pages

Tammy Faye Messner Dies at 65
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- 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.
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." But she told well-
wishers in a note on her Web site in May that the doctors had stopped
trying to treat the cancer.
In an interview with CNN's Larry King two months later, an emaciated
Messner - still using her trademark makeup - said, "I believe when I
leave this earth, because I love the Lord, I'm going straight to
heaven." Asked if she had any regrets, Messner said: "I don't think
about it, Larry, because it's a waste of good brain space."
For many, the TV image of then-Mrs. Bakker forgiving husband Jim's
infidelities, tears streaking her cheeks with mascara, became a symbol
for the wages of greed and hypocrisy in 1980s America.
She divorced her husband of 30 years, with whom she had two children, in
1992 while he was in prison for defrauding millions from followers of
their PTL television ministries. The letters stood for "Praise the
Lord" or "People that Love."...
*
Isn't PTL the ministry that was eventually taken over by Stanford's own
Gene Scott?
From Jim and Tammy Faye to Gene Scott! How'd you like to donate a
little spare change to that crowd?
Why am I hesistant to loan money to anyone named "Gene?"- Hide quoted text -
- Show quoted text -
This woman was very loved by our holy jebus. Why else would she
receive the blessed gift of inoperable colon cancer?
Closer to jebus is he with colon cancer than is another with a
clean bung.
Amen! And since the last place I want to be is close to the corpse of
Jesus, I keep my bung super clean by wiping it thoroughly with pages
from the Holy Bible itself. You can't get any cleaner than that!
Nor as blessed.

What's amazing is that our friends on TV have been talking her up --
as if she were an irrepressible woman whose inner strength, vision,

*****. She was also a tacky, ignorant, self-serving glitter queen.
There wasn't a thing she owned, or a thought in her head that didn't
have to with scamming, lying, cheating and swindling. No one deserves
to die of colon cancer, and she took it on probably better than I
would, but this woman was not nice, nor accomplished, nor admirable,

Yes, she was all that. I still can't help feeling sorry for her,
though. Her comment about wanting to eat her favorite foods and not
being able to really struck a nerve with me. Cancer is a hell of a
disease. And she had not one, but two husbands land in the slammer.
Her first one publically humiliated her with his very visible affair
with a church secretary. What a scumbag he was; couldn't even keep it
in his pants. Hypocite and liar.
I don't admire her in death; "pity" is more of what I feel.
