Mama June Shannon recently provided an update on her family following the tragic passing of Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the star of Mama June: Family Crisis revealed the current living arrangements of her granddaughters, Kaitlyn Elizabeth, 8, and Kylee Madison, 11, following their mother's death in December due to stage 4 cancer.

According to Shannon, Kaitlyn is currently residing with her and Justin Stroud, while Kylee is living with her biological father, as previously known. Shannon hinted that viewers would likely learn more about the situation as the season progresses.

Anna, who shared Kylee with her ex-husband Michael Cardwell, had not disclosed the identity of the father of her older daughter. In December, Anna's husband Eldridge Toney shared details about her final days, including a promise he made to honor her wish for her daughters to remember her.

Toney expressed his commitment to fulfilling Anna's dying wish, stating, 'I promised Anna I would do right by them and make sure they remembered their mama. And that is what I will do.' He emphasized his dedication to caring for Anna's daughters and ensuring they cherish their mother's memory.

Anna, known for her appearance on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, passed away at the age of 29 on December 9, less than a year after being diagnosed with stage 4 adrenal carcinoma. Shannon announced Anna's death on Instagram, sharing a family photo and expressing the pain of losing her daughter after a courageous 10-month battle.

Shannon assured followers that more information would be shared as it becomes available, underscoring the family's unity during Anna's final moments. The heartfelt commitment of those left behind to honor Anna's memory and care for her daughters serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring love within the family.
