“Mama June” Shannon confirmed this past weekend that her oldest daughter, Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell, died at the age of 29. The young woman, who was the older sister of Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer earlier this year. In the aftermath of her passing, several family members have paid tribute and asked for the public’s prayers as they continue to make their way through this difficult time. Reports have also surfaced since Cardwell died, and they shed light on her final months as well as the arrangements the family is making moving forward. With that, it would seem that the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo alum actually had a secret wedding months ago.
Many may have been aware that Anna Cardwell was in a relationship with Eldridge Toney before she passed away and, as far as the public knew, they were only long-term partners. However, per a report from TMZ, the two tied the knot during a ceremony earlier this year. The news outlet obtained their marriage certificate, which indicates that they exchanged vows in Wilkinson County, Georgia on March 4. Sources claim that Cardwell was the one who floated the idea of getting hitched and did so after she received her stage 4 adrenal carcinoma diagnosis in January. By March, she was going through chemotherapy, and it’s said that she wanted to have the wedding while she was still feeling well enough for it.
