Their mother, Mama June Shannon, also attended the service. She wore a floor-length black dress adorned with blue flowers and a bedazzled black denim jacket. Her blonde hair was neatly pulled back into a ponytail.
The order of service listed Anna under her married name, Anna Marie Toney. She had married her husband Eldridge Toney after receiving her diagnosis.
A sign outside the service warned attendees that cell phones were not allowed.
The poem Broken Chain was read during the service, which included the line: "Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again."
Anna reportedly wanted an open casket funeral and invited fans to attend. Additionally, the funeral home will fingerprint her so her family can get tattoos of her prints. Her ashes will be divided among her family, kept in unique jewelry or crystals.
