In March 2023, after learning of her cancer diagnosis, Anna 'Chickadee' Cardwell married the love of her life, Eldridge Toney, in an intimate yet magical wedding ceremony.

The event took place in Wilkinson County, Georgia, and seated some of their closest family and friends, including Cardwell's daughters, sisters, and mother. Cardwell's brother-in-law, through Pumpkin Efird, served as the wedding officiant.

Photos from the wedding made rounds online, featuring the stunning bride in a deep-neck white gown while her husband was in a white button-down and pants. Cardwell's wedding was previewed in the trailer of "Mama June: Family Crisis" Season 7 trailer, which may be good news for fans who want to see more of the event.

Cardwell learned of her stage 4 adrenal carcinoma diagnosis in early 2023. As months passed, her family became more open about their thoughts and decisions to the public, including a family interview where they admitted the disease was already terminal.

Still, Mama June's daughter continued to live her life as normal as possible."She can still go to the grocery store. She can drive herself. She's still able to take the kids to and from places," Efird disclosed. She was aware that many thought the cancer would slow down her sister's mobility, but it wasn't quite the case.

"A lot of people thought that it was gonna make her sick and stuff like that, [but] she's able to bounce back pretty quick," the reality star added.

In December 2023, Cardwell sadly passed away at the age of 29. She was going through treatments to battle the cancer when she passed away. She is survived by her family, including two kids, Kaitlyn and Kylee.

In the days leading to her death, Anna Cardwell put up a strong facade. But when it was only her and her husband left together, she showed her real emotions. Despite her being gone, her spouse vowed to continue loving and caring for her two kids despite not being his biological children.
