Mama June's Daughter Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell's Cause Of Death Revealed

Mama June Shannon's daughter Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell passed away on Saturday following her battle with cancer. The news of the late reality TV star suffering from cancer was revealed in March this year after a diagnosis in January.

Cardwell was June's eldest daughter out of four kids and the older sister to Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson. Along with her family, she appeared on the popular show, "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo."

Cardwell passed away after struggling with cancer. The 29-year-old was diagnosed with stage 4 adrenal carcinoma in January.

The cancer was discovered in Cardwell's liver, kidney, and lung after a series of tests following her complaints of stomach aches. The following month after her diagnosis, she underwent her first round of chemotherapy.

At the time, sources told TMZ that doctors were hopeful about Cardwell's condition and that they were waiting to see how she would react to the chemotherapy before moving forward with a decision. But things seemed dire when June took to social media to beg for prayers for her daughter.

A few days ago, June took to social media asking fans to send prayers for her now-late daughter, Cardwell.

"Y’all we're 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 captioned the post on social media along with a photo of praying hands.

The mother of four and her daughter Cardwell reportedly had a rough relationship due to her romance with her ex-boyfriend, McDaniel. But the pair had started rebuilding their relationship, with the bond between them strengthening after Cardwell's cancer diagnosis.

“June and Anna were slowly working on building back their relationship about a year ago, but Anna’s recent stage 4 adrenal carcinoma diagnosis has rapidly brought the pair even closer,” a source told Page Six.

Cardwell was also present at her mother's wedding to her now-husband, Justin Stroud, in February, further emphasizing that they had finally reconciled and were in a better place. In photos shared from June's nuptials, Cardwell could be seen walking her mother down the aisle alongside her sisters, Alana "Honey Boo Boo" Thompson, Lauryn "Pumpkin" Efird and Jessica "Chubbs" Shannon.

June decided to support her daughter during the cancer battle by moving back to Georgia, where her family previously resided. In a heartfelt revelation, the reality TV star announced her decision to leave Alabama and return to Georgia during a chat with the US Sun.

June also noted at the time that she’ll be relocating alongside her husband, Stroud. “We are leaving Alabama,” she told the news outlet, adding, “I’m in the process of leaving Alabama now, and I’m in the final steps of my legal issues, so we’ll be going back to Georgia.”

"We split time between Alabama and Georgia, and when we come to help Anna and visit, we stay in an Airbnb," June stated at the time.

She then discussed her decision to return to Georgia, where the family had previously lived, during the interview, citing her desire to provide the best care and support for Anna.

On her previously strained relationship with Cardwell, June revealed that they had already begun working on things prior to her cancer diagnosis.

"The relationship with Anna was actually working before she found out that she had cancer. It didn't just all of a sudden miraculously start working like what Anna had cancer, you know, to make that totally clear with everybody," June said.

Taking to Instagram, the reality TV star broke the news of Cardwell's passing, noting that she put up a fight but eventually passed away "peacefully."

June wrote, "With the 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 gave one h--- 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."

The grieving mother added, "We love y’all and continued prayers and thoughts for our family [during] this difficult time."

Rest in peace, Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell.
