Anna Cardwell passed away at 29 years old after her battle with cancer.

"It’s so quiet in here, the machines aren’t running, [Anna’s] not sitting in here watching cooking shows, and it’s just so quiet," she said. "The chair that she was in, nobody is sitting in it right now because it has a blanket and a pillow that she used, and that’s where she passed away at."

Mama June also revealed that her daughter's memorial service would be taking place on Wednesday, December 13.
