Days after his wife Anna ‘Chickadee’ Cardwell’s funeral, Eldridge Toney reflected on the reality TV star’s final moments.
Cardwell, who was diagnosed with stage 4 adrenal carcinoma in January, died on December 9 at the age of 29. Toney spoke with PEOPLE about being next to his wife while she breathed.
“Everyone was crying and going crazy,” Toney explained. “Because we all knew what was happening. I did my best to be calm for her. “I rubbed her hair with my hands, held her hand and told her everything was going to be okay.”
After Anna Cardwell was diagnosed, she and Toney married. She said he would keep his wife’s memory alive for her daughters, Kaitlyn Elizabeth and Kylee Madison.
“The day before he passed, we talked and said goodbye,” Toney continued. “Her last wish for him was that his daughters would grow up knowing who his mother was. And I promised that she would always do right by the girls. “I will spend my life doing the right thing for Anna and the girls.”
Toney and Cardwell began dating in 2017 after her divorce from Michael Cardwell. They moved together into a double-wide trailer on a lake in Milledgeville, Georgia, in 2020.
Anna ‘Chickadee’ Cardwell once talked about having a child with Eldridge Toney
During an interview with The US Sun In 2022, Anna Cardwell opened up about how she and Eldridge Toney wanted to have a child together. However, they battled multiple miscarriages in 2021.
“We are trying to have a third child,” she explained. “And it has been difficult. I have been through four miscarriages and a D&C. “It’s been a long, bumpy road for us trying to have baby three.”
Anna Cardwell also recalled having a miscarriage just before Christmas 2020. Her doctors eventually informed her that she was not producing enough progesterone, which affected her chances of having a successful pregnancy.
“We know what is happening now,” he continued. “And we’re taking the proper precautions to take care of him and make sure he stays alive and everything.”
Cardwell further admitted that when it came to marrying Toney, he had some doubts. “He wants to marry me, but after my first marriage, I really don’t want to get married again because you never know what will happen. I always tell him that marriage is just a piece of paper that says, ‘Hey, you’re married.'”
She went on to add that while she has her concerns, she was willing to get married again.
