Tammy Faye Messner died Friday morning of colon cancer.

Her death was announced by Larry King on Saturday night. Her family asked him to be the first one to report her passing.

Messner's son Jay Bakker said on his website,
"She had a very peaceful death and is no longer in pain. To grant her wish she was cremated today and her ashes were buried at a private ceremony."

"Thank you to everyone for their prayers and support over the years – it has helped me more than you will ever know. Please continue to pray for her husband Roe as well as the rest of my family."
Messner's ex-husband Jim Bakker released a statement Saturday, saying,
"Our family is deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Tammy Faye. She lived her life like the song she sang, 'If Life Hands You a Lemon, Make Lemonade.' "
