Katie Slaton, the star of the 1000-pound Sisters, passed away shortly after being diagnosed with Stage 4 gastric adenocarcinoma.
1000-lbs Sisters star Katie Slaton’s cousin, Amanda Halterman, paid tribute to her ‘best friend’ and ‘life of the party’ following her tragic death aged 37. The heartbreaking news of Katie’s death comes several months after it was announced she was diagnosed with Stage 4 gastric adenocarcinoma.
Beloved star Katie appeared on the popular show with her cousins Amy Slaton and Tammy Slaton, whose weight loss journey was the focus of the TLC programme. She also appeared in series five, when Tammy was released from a weight-loss rehabilitation centre.
Following her death, her cousin Amanda paid tribute to Katie – who she said was a “force to be reckoned with”.

Amanda posted on Instagram : “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. She was a force to be reckoned with and showed love that was accepting and given freely.
She was both my best friend and the life of the [party]. I am aware that you were welcomed home by both of our grandparents and friends. Please pray for my aunt, uncle, cousins, but most of all, for Natalie’s strength and the birth of the children.
“Pray for everyone who loves her,” he asks. Thank you to everyone who has shown support for her. #cancersucks”.
Amanda took to social media to ask her followers to pray for the family before her passing. She also penned the following message to Katie: “Please whisper a prayer for our family as we continue to support] Katie.” I’m so happy to be able to support you.
Katie, who appeared on a number of the show’s episodes, was revealed earlier this year to have been diagnosed with stage 4 cancer.
According to the Daily Mail, Katie had gastric adenocarcinoma, which the outlet described as an aggressive form of stomach cancer.
When Amanda announced her death, fans were quick to pay their condolences, with one saying: ” “Deepest sympathy & condolences goes out to you Amanda, your family & friends.” Another said: “Praying that the Lord holds you all close in this time.”
Someone else emailed “Sending you all strength and peace in the present.” I’m so sorry for both of you. I’m so sorry for your loss, Amanda, and a fourth person commented on the post. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
