Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell, the eldest daughter of reality TV star Mama June Shannon, died Saturday following a months-long battle with Stage 4 adrenal carcinoma. She was 29.
“With the breaking heart, we are announcing that @annamarie35 is no longer with us,” Shannon, 44, wrote on Instagram Sunday. “She passed away in my home last night peacefully at 11:12 PM.”
“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,” continued the statement. “We love y’all and continued prayers and thoughts for our family doing this difficult time.”
Shannon’s heartbreaking news comes mere days after another post pleading with fans to keep her family in their thoughts.
“Y’all we r asking for prayers for our family as we are going through this process we really appreciate y’all for all the thoughts and prayers and we will update y’all whenever we can just know that all of your thoughts and your prayers are very much appreciated during this time,” Shannon wrote.
The 29-year-old “Here Comes Honey Boo Boo” alum was reportedly told by doctors in January that they had discovered cancer in her lung, liver and kidney after they ran a series of tests after the star complained about having abdominal pain.
Cardwell’s diagnosis was later confirmed by her sister Alan “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson
“& this is what I mean when I say you never truly know what somebody is going through at home. no matter how famous they are,” Thompson, 18, wrote on her Instagram story in March. “yes, I’m very famous but normal sh–t happens to me and my family & y’all need to realize that ASAP.”
In April, it was revealed that Shannon — whose relationship with Cardwell has been rocky — had been attending doctor appointments with her eldest daughter in an attempt to repair the damaged relationship.
