The family of Tammy and Amy Slaton is grieving the loss of their cousin, Katie Slaton, who died on Aug. 25 at the age of 37 after a battle with stage 4 cancer.

Family Tribute

Amanda Halterman, sister of Tammy and Amy, shared the news on Instagram the following day.

“It is with a completely crushed heart and spirit that I have to post this. My little cousin went to sit at the feet of Jesus yesterday,” Amanda wrote. She described Katie as “the life of the party and my best friend,” asking followers to keep the family, especially Katie’s children, in their prayers.

Tammy’s Earlier Plea

Back in January, Tammy Slaton posted a GoFundMe link, asking fans to support Katie through her cancer journey.

“Even if it’s a dollar it would help my cousin out so much,” Tammy wrote. Katie appeared briefly in “1000-Lb. Sisters,” including season 5 when Tammy was released from rehab.

Katie’s Battle With Cancer

Katie was diagnosed with stage 4 gastric adenocarcinoma, a rare stomach cancer, earlier this year. She underwent chemotherapy but ultimately passed away at Linda White Hospice House in Evansville, Indiana.
