Mama June Shannon, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson and more family and friends gathered to honor the memory of Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell.
The reality TV star passed away on Saturday after a year-long battle with stage 4 adrenal carcinoma. She was 29 years old.
The funeral took place at the Williams White-Columns Funeral Home in Gordon, Georgia on Wednesday, December 13. Anna Cardwell’s family gathered in the lobby to greet the many attendees as they arrived.
Attendees were asked to refrain from using cell phones inside the building, out of respect for the family, according to a sign posted in front of the funeral home. Although the production team Mama June: From not to hot documented Anna’s battle with cancer, the family decided not to film the funeral services.
Mom June Shannon brought Anna Cardwell’s 11-year-old daughter Kaitlyn to the service. Shannon is now in Kaitlyn’s custody following the death of her mother.
Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson was also in attendance, along with her boyfriend, Dralin Carswell, and June’s husband, Justin Stroud.
A program provided to guests at the service included a poem titled “Broken Chain,” as well as a photograph of Anna.
Instead of Anna Cardwell, the reality TV star was remembered as “Anna Marie Toney.” This reflects her married name, as Anna married shortly after receiving her terminal diagnosis in January.
Anna Cardwell and her boyfriend, Eldrige Toney, were married on March 4 in Wilkinson County, Georgia. According to the marriage license, Anna’s brother-in-law, Josh Efird, Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon’s husband, officiated the ceremony.
