I remember thinking she was just a clown until I saw a documentary on her life. It showed a very funny and fun loving woman. She had all sorts of crap to deal with but dealt with it in her own way.
Here is a quote from the Chicago Tribune:
On Thursday, an emaciated Tammy Faye appeared with her husband on CNN's "Larry King Live" to provide an update on her condition, for which she was receiving hospice care and taking morphine to ease the pain of swallowing food.
"I talk to God every single day, and I say, 'God, my life is in your hands, and I trust you with me,' " she said. Asked if she had any regrets, she said: "I don't think about it, Larry, because it's a waste of good brain space."
