Mama June is embarking on a bittersweet adventure — a trip to Disney World with her late daughter, Anna “Chickadee” Cardwell.
Although her mourning is interrupted by a lawsuit regarding her first grandchild, the grieving mother will take Cardwell’s ashes with her, turning the happiest place on earth into a holy land of love and memory.
Mama June And Family To Bring Ash Cardwell Anna “Chickadee” To Disney
Despite the sad tone, the family is determined to make the holiday memorable, bringing along her late daughter to share the joy and laughter she once brought to their lives.
The celebratory trip included the parents of the family, Alana “Honey Boo Boo,” Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird and her family, as well as the deceased’s 29-year-old first daughter, Kaitlyn.
While an invitation was extended to Cardwell’s ex-husband, Michael, for their shared daughter, Kylee, the family awaited confirmation of her attendance. Although her physical presence will be gone, Kaitlyn will carry a piece of her mother close to her heart, wearing a necklace containing some of Cardwell’s ashes.

TMZ sources revealed that the family had discussed and planned this holiday getaway with the TV personality before his death, reinforcing their commitment to creating lasting memories in his honor.
The family rents a house nearby, intending to spend the week together, surrounded by the magic of Disney and the warmth of family love. In a symbolic gesture, they plan to bring a small urn containing the mother-of-two’s ashes to the rental house, giving a sense of her presence during this emotional holiday season.
Cardwell’s last wish, expressed before his death, was to give his children an iPad. The family reportedly fulfilled this wish, ensuring that his love and intentions lived on despite his absence.
Before she untimely passed away from stage 4 adrenal carcinoma, her husband, Eldridge Toney, shared that his wish to die was focused on their two daughters – Kaitlyn Elizabeth and Kylee Madison.
Reflecting on the emotional moments leading up to his late partner’s passing, Toney shared, “The day before he died, we talked and said goodbye. Her dying wish was for her daughters to grow up knowing who their mother was. I promise I will always do right by those girls. I will spend my life doing right by Anna and those girls.”
During this heartbreaking conversation, the couple was not alone; surrounded by family on Kylee’s eighth birthday, the mood was both happy and sad.
Sisters Jessica “Chubbs” Shannon, Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson, and Lauryn “Pumpkin” Efird, along with their mother, came together to support Cardwell and each other. As she took her last breath, Toney stood by her side, providing comfort and reassurance.
“Everyone is crying and scared because we all know what happened. I did my best to stay calm for him. I ran my hand through his hair, held his hand, and told him it was going to be okay. I held his hand when he breathed his last,” he said
A Legal Battle Takes Place When Mama June Faces a Custody Challenge Over Her Daughter’s Inherent Child
In the midst of her mourning period, Mama June finds herself embroiled in a legal dispute with her late daughter’s ex-husband over custody of her first grandchild Kaitlyn.
Michael, who already has full custody of his biological daughter Kylee, argued in a lawsuit filed in a Georgia court that he had played a significant and consistent role in the pre-teen’s life.
According to court documents, he claims to have “engaged in consistently caring for the child and creating an attached and dependent relationship with the child” in Kaitlyn’s upbringing, encouraged by his ex-wife.
Michael insists that he is shouldering the responsibilities, including paying the 11-year-old’s school tuition, highlighting his continued commitment to her well-being.
In a subtle jab at Mama June’s parenting, she questions her worthiness to care, citing Cardwell’s tumultuous relationship with her mother and periods of estrangement.
Detailing the late star’s upbringing mainly under the care of her maternal grandmother in Griffin, Georgia, Michael also noted that Mama June’s presence in Kaitlyn’s life was inconsistent.
She argued that she was “the only person alive who has shown a constant and continuing interest in the well-being of the child’s minor child, and that being in the care of the petitioner is in the child’s best interest.”
