Mama June and the Shannon family sadly said goodbye to one of their loved ones this past weekend. The outspoken matriarch announced that her daughter, Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell, died at the age of 29 on December 9 following a battle with cancer. In the wake of Cardwell’s passing, her relatives now have to make a number of arrangements and come to important decisions on certain matters. Part of that includes considerations that must be made for the two daughters that Cardwell is survived by. A new report has now provided some clarity regarding the custody plans for the two young ladies.
Anna Cardwell was mother to 11-year-old Kaitlyn Elizabeth and 8-year-old Kylee Madison. According to TMZ, Kaitlyn is set to be put in the care of 44-year-old Mama June, who is allegedly also seeking to become the minor’s legal guardian. The news outlet’s sources say that the mother of four has a strong relationship with her oldest grandchild. And apparently, because of the firm nature of that bond, the rest of the family reportedly agrees that it’s best that Kaitlyn be placed with her grandmother.
