In January, June Shannon’s (44) daughter Anna Cardwell (✝29) made her cancer public. She took her fans with her on her difficult journey. A few days ago, June announced sad news: her daughter died. The reality star had her final months filmed. They will be featured on the show “Mama June.” Now her husband Eldridge Toney explains why Anna wanted the film accompaniment.
As he tells People, his late wife wanted to draw more attention to her rare disease. “Filming was something that Anna really wanted to do. She wanted to raise awareness about her type of cancer because it is very rare and there is so much that we don’t know about it,” he explains Anna’s intentions.
Her fans will also be able to attend her funeral. Anna originally wanted her funeral to be livestreamed on TikTok. However, her family thought otherwise. “You can come to White Columns Funeral Home in Gordon, Georgia from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.,” June invited her daughter’s fans on Instagram a few days ago.
