Anna Marie ‘Chickadee’ Cardwell died from cancer at 11.12pm on December 9 at her mother’s home in Milledgeville, Georgia, “with her girls, all her sisters, her husband and close family at her side.”
Gina Rodriguez, the family’s manager and close friend since 2014, added: “Sadly, Anna passed away on her youngest daughter, Kylee’s birthday. We ask for prayers for the family during this difficult time.”
Cardwell had two daughters, who she shared with husband Eldridge Toney. Thompson wrote Cardwell “was in so much pain last night but now as a family we all know she is at peace now.”
Anna Marie Cardwell’s brave cancer story
Anna was diagnosed with stage 4 terminal adrenal carcinoma cancer in January 2023. She underwent chemotherapy shortly after the diagnosis and battled the disease for ten months.
In July, Anna was still doing everyday things, when she had undergone four rounds of chemotherapy. At the time, it was revealed the cancer had spread to the left side of her body really fast.
In November, Cardwell told her followers on TikTok she was doing “pretty good” and had just recently gone through radiation treatment and autoimmune therapy.
However, Mama June shared a video to Instagram updating followers on Cardwell’s situation. “Some things have changed in our lives over the last few weeks that are totally out of our control,” she said.
“When that time does come, we will as a family come to y’all on social media because Anna would not have it any other way,” Anna’s mother added to fans. Anna is survived by daughters, Kaitlyn and Kylee.
Pumpkin, June and family members are ‘heartbroken’
Honey Boo Boo took to Instagram to reveal that her sister, Anna, had “taken her last breath” after they had let her know “it was okay to go”. Fans were asked to “hug her two babies and family tight”.

Another wrote: “Oh Alana, I’m sending you and your family so much love and prayers for healing❤️.” While a fellow Honey Boo Boo fan said: “Anna was an amazing soul spirit and person.”
