In a heartbreaking turn of events, Mama June’s eldest daughter, Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell, has lost her battle with cancer. The 29-year-old passed away on Saturday night, succumbing to complications from stage 4 adrenal carcinoma, a terminal diagnosis she had courageously fought for ten months.

Mama June, bearing the weight of sorrow, took to social media to share the devastating news with her followers. In a poignant post, she wrote, “With a breaking heart, we are announcing that @annamarie35 is no longer with us. She passed away in my home last night peacefully at 11:12 PM.” Expressing both grief and admiration for Anna’s resilience, Mama June continued, “She gave one hell of a fight for 10 months; she passed away with her family around her like she won’t, and we will be updating y’all with more information as we get it today. We love y’all and continued prayers and thoughts for our family during this difficult time.”

Anna’s passing came shortly after Mama June had requested public prayers on Friday, indicating that her daughter’s departure was imminent. In a heartfelt video message, Mama June revealed that the family was undergoing a profound transition, acknowledging that while Anna was technically still with them, her life was now in God’s hands.
