Tammy Faye Bakker's Kevo

Tammy Faye Bakker is the now estranged wife of Jim Bakker, the PTL (Praise The Lord) Club televangelist who brought that particular ministry to fame, fortune and disaster. Born in International Falls, Minnesota in 1942, Tammy Faye LaValley was raised by her mother and stepfather in a family of eight children. She attended North Central College in Minneapolis, Minnesota, where she met and married Jim Bakker in 1961. Bakker acted as co-host on her husband's hugely successful televangelist program from 1974 into the mid 1980�s, when the show was rocked by scandal and Jim Bakker was eventually convicted and served prison time for his financial misdealing with the PTL Ministry.

Bakker divorced her husband in 1992 during his third year in prison and married a former PTL associate, Roe Messner, who himself later ended up in prison for bankruptcy fraud. She has since divorced Messner and gone on to head up a wig sales business, author some literary works, one of which tells her story about the PTL scandal in (Tammy: Telling It My Way), as well as having made a failed attempt to enter the talk show realm. Bakker has also had medical problems, undergoing treatment for colon cancer in a California hospital.
