Tragedy has hit the Slaton family as Katie Slaton, cousin of reality TV personalities Tammy and Amy Slaton from 1000-lb Sisters, has passed away.
The heartbreaking news was shared by Amanda Halterman, Katie’s cousin and social media personality, through an Instagram tribute. Amanda described Katie as “a force to be reckoned with,” praising her generous spirit and vibrant personality.
“My little cousin went to sit at the feet of Jesus yesterday,” Amanda wrote. “She was a powerful presence, full of love that she gave freely. Katie was the life of the party and also my best friend.”
Amanda also asked for prayers and support for Katie’s loved ones, especially her partner, Natalie, and their children, during this difficult time.
Before her passing, Katie had been battling gastric adenocarcinoma, a severe form of stomach cancer, and often appeared on 1000-lb Sisters.
