There had been some hope as Anna had completed her last round of radiation and seemed in good spirits. She was indulging in a special brand of pickles, something Mama June and the whole family loves. Unfortunately, things seemed to take a turn on Friday, December 8th when prayers were asked for from fans. It does look like Mama June and Anna had made up, though.

Her aunt Doe Doe Shannon started by asking for prayers on Facebook which was followed by Anna’s sister, Pumpkin. By evening, the two turned to Instagram along with Mama June. She then made a TikTok saying that they saw all of the messages and were going through the transition. Anna was still with them but when the time came, they would share it on social media as a family. Finally, she still hoped the prayers would keep coming in. A Reddit thread was started soon after where the OP noted this:
