Tammy Faye, 65, 1942-2007
Tammy Faye was a strong woman who made a living out of the ‘PTL Ministry.’ Despite being a TV evangelist, she never shied away from voicing her opinions without the fear of becoming an outcast or being judged.
The televangelist was doing well until a cancer diagnosis in 1996 came into her life like a wrecking ball. Ultimately, Faye passed away only hours after giving a heartwarming interview on the ‘Larry King Show.’ Even today, her legacy lives on in the form of musicals and gospel plays that convey the much-beloved Tammy’s teachings.
