The one-year anniversary of Anna Cardwell‘s death is quickly approaching, and her mother June Shannon is determined to relocate her family to another home before the sad anniversary arrives on December 9.
The Mama June: Family Crisis star recently took to Facebook to ask her fans for help in finding her a new home to live in. In a series of (very confusing) posts to her personal page, Mama June revealed that she made a vow to her family that they would not be living in the Georgia home where Anna died by the one-year anniversary of her death. Mama June also talked about how hard it’s been for her daughters (Alana, Pumpkin and Jessica), as well as Anna’s daughter Kaitlyn, to live in a house where the tragic loss of Anna occurred.
(The Ashley is going to add some punctuation to Mama June’s scrawlings to make the “Mama June Speak” a little easier to read.
“It’s honestly been one of the roughest years of my entire life and we r coming up on the one-year anniversary of us losing Anna Marie Cardwell n for us as a family being in the house that she passed in has been like a Groundhog moment,” Mama June wrote. “Every day the girls don’t even like [to] pull up at my house cause it’s just hard. I know ALOT of people r able to live in the house their love[d] one passed and I thought I could too til we have had to do it this last year. That [is] why I’m moving.”
As The Ashley previously reported, June was awarded custody of Kaitlyn in September, following a legal battle with Michael Cardwell, who is the father of Anna’s other daughter Kylee.
In another Facebook post, June compared waking up in the house where Anna died to living in the movie “Groundhog Day,” (where the same day is replayed over and over).
“It’s been a rough year not just me but for Kaitlyn, Justin and the girls and for us all to move forward and grieve [like] we need to this has to be done,” June wrote. “I talk about Anna all the time to everyone and I will never forget her, never. But it’s like Ground [Hog] Day every day for all of us.”
June wrote that she had wanted to leave the home on the day Anna passed away, but she made herself stay so that she could deal with the emotions and the loss.

“I wanted to [leave] the same day she passed and leave it all behind ’cause I’m a runner but I have grown ALOT in the last few years and made myself sit in a place and feelings I felt uncomfortable in to deal with the emotions,” she wrote. “It has been to hardest thing to do this year and will continue to be a grieving process. For me, [it] will be forever. [Anna] was my firstborn, my child. No matter what we had been through it was my child, period. [And] the decision to move was a [hard] one cause I feel I’m leaving everything. But, no, I’m not. She is coming with us as she is with us all. I think it will be good for the whole family…”
June— who stated that she is considering both renting or buying a new home– admitted that moving to a new home won’t change the grief she feels about the loss of her daughter.
“Trust me it doesn’t matter where we move,” June told one person in the comment section of her post. “I have had a hard time with losing Anna and do every day no matter where I live at honestly.”

“It feel[s] like I’m stuck in repeat,” June told another person. “As much as I enjoyed the time we had there with Anna it’s still hard there. No one understands that [until] u have to go through [it]… For me to be able to grieve the way I need to I have to move. So the one-year anniversary is on the Dec 9th and I told everyone I would not be there for it.
“It may sound bad to ALOT but it’s been a rough year on us and it’s even hard for the kids to come over there also.”
As ‘Mama June’ fans know, June used to own a big home where her family lived. However, after June became addicted to drugs, she sold the five-bedroom, three-bathroom home in 2019 for well under its market value. (June purchased the home for $156,000 in 2014 and ended up taking a cash offer of $100,000 to unload it.)
She has lived in a series of rental homes since getting sober.

Something tells me that Mama June is the only person who “feels” this way as an excuse to cash in quick. Given her past with using her children’s money to fund a lifestyle She can’t afford, I hope to Moses that she was not given control over her grandchildren’s money.
Anna was your first born and you chose her rapist over her. That’s not something one can move past from. PERIOD.
She is so gross & disgusting…..
Sorry. June was never a mother to Anna. Ever. She knew she was molested by her ex boyfriend who was sent to prison for it. She called Anna a liar and picked up her daughter’s rapist when he got out of jail with Alana. She stole from Anna. Hundreds of thousands of dollars. (She hasn’t “grown” in that department either as she continues to steal from her living daughter’s). She had nothing to do with Anna until she realized Anna dying would give her ratings and another season. I hate to say it but it’s the truth.
And what is it with these people asking us to find them a home? June has far more resources than most of us do. Alana did the same damn thing asking “fans” to help her and Dralin find a house. Have they never heard of Zillow? Realtor.com? Google? WTF?! They want hand outs and to get everything including housing for less. I’m sure some of their “fans” will help them do just that.
