Anna "Chickadee" Cardwell quietly tied the knot with Eldridge Toney after being diagnosed with cancer.

She sadly lost her battle with stage four adrenal carcinoma at 29, a diagnosis she received in January.

According to The Mirror, Chickadee and Eldridge had a private wedding in Wilkinson County, Georgia, before her passing.

The couple started their relationship in 2017, after Chickadee's divorce from her former husband, Michael Cardwell.

Chickadee and Michael shared a daughter, Kylee Madison, together.
