In a heartfelt Instagram post, Mama June expressed her grief and shared a family photograph. 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. She fought this horrible disease for 10 months, and she passed away surrounded by loved ones. We will provide more information as we receive it. Your prayers and thoughts are appreciated during this difficult time.”
Anna’s sister, Honey Boo Boo, also shared her sorrow on Instagram. She described the pain of watching her sister battle cancer over the past year and expressed gratitude that Anna is now at peace. Honey Boo Boo asked for prayers for their family during the days ahead.
Mama June recently spoke to Entertainment Tonight about Anna’s journey with cancer. She revealed that Anna had completed four rounds of chemotherapy and was doing relatively well. While the family is taking it one day at a time, they are still exploring treatment options such as clinical trials or immune therapy.
Anna’s two young children are aware of their mother’s illness, but they may not fully understand the extent of it. Kaitlyn, who is 10 years old, has been by her mother’s side throughout the diagnosis and treatment. Meanwhile, 7-year-old Kylee knows her mother is sick but may not comprehend the gravity of the situation. The family cherishes every moment they have together.
Despite the heartbreaking circumstances, Mama June and her family are not giving up hope. They understand that remission may not be possible, but they believe in the continual advancement of medical technology and the possibility of a cure. They remain optimistic and want to raise awareness and support for cancer patients everywhere.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mama June Shannon, Honey Boo Boo, and all of Anna’s loved ones during this incredibly difficult time. Let us remember Anna ‘Chickadee’ Cardwell and celebrate her life as we wish her family peace and healing.
