MAMA June Shannon, her husband Justin Stroud, and her granddaughter Kaitlyn, 11, have moved into a Georgia mobile home after her daughter Anna’s death.
The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal that June, 44, moved into the mobile home which is marked as being on “rural land” sometime last year.

The mobile home, which was constructed by Horton Homes and built in 2005, is valued at $37,943.
The 27×56-long home is nestled on a five-acre plot of land.
The estimated worth of the land and home is $116,000.
June is not listed as the home or property owner, and it appears she is renting.
The reality star claimed in court documents that Anna and her oldest daughter Kaitlyn, 11, lived with her the month before she died from adrenal cancer at 29 years old, and it seems this is the home she was referring to in the papers.
“Petitioner previously had temporary guardianship of the child. More recently, approximately one month before passing, the mother and child began residing with Petitioner,” June said in her petition for sole legal and physical custody of Kaitlyn.
The mobile home is about a half-hour drive from Anna’s ex-husband Michael Cardwell, who has custody of his daughter Kylee, 8, with Anna.
June and Michael are locked in an ugly custody battle over Kaitlyn since Anna’s passing on December 9.

NASTY ALLEGATIONS
In her response to Michael suing her for custody of Kaitlyn, June accused Anna’s ex of abusing his late wife and their daughter during their marriage.
“During his marriage to Anna, plaintiff frequently physically abused Anna and the child and it would not be in the child’s best interest to be in the plaintiff’s care and control,” June’s response alleged.
In a strongly worded statement to The U.S. Sun, Michael’s attorney said: “Michael flatly denies any type of abuse of his children or his ex-wife or any other past girlfriend.
“We will see how June plans to prove this or any other of her supposed truths or allegations,” the lawyer added.
MORE OF MAMA’S CLAIMS
June previously claimed to The U.S. Sun that while there isn’t any clear documentation of Anna’s final wishes, it will be cleared up soon – because her plan was allegedly caught on WeTV cameras before she passed away from adrenal cancer.
“We are following Anna’s wishes at the end of the day. People will see that all this season of the show,” June claimed.
Michael’s attorney also responded to June’s statements: “We have heard that before, I believe that’s been Ms. Shannon’s claim for some time, but we’ve seen no documents and no footage of anything.”
“To be frank, this is a court case that is going to play out in a courtroom in front of a judge and not over any reality TV show.
“We’ve not seen any official documents or any even informal documents that pertain to her decisions,” the lawyer concluded.
Michael, who has custody of Kaitlyn’s half-sister, Kylee, argued to a Georgia court in a lawsuit against June in December that although he is not the 11-year-old’s biological father, he has raised her as his own.
MICHAEL’S CASE
Michael filed his own lawsuit against June on December 17, arguing he should be awarded custody of Kaitlyn.
Michael said he has “fully and completely undertaken a permanent, unequivocal, committed, and responsible parental role” in the girl’s life.
Anna’s ex said after he and the former reality star split, his regular visitation schedule with Kylee also included time with Kaitlyn and that he has an “independent relationship with the child, which was fostered and supported by a parent of the child.”
Michael also pointed to Anna’s well-documented fraught relationship with her mother June.
“Anna has been raised by her maternal grandmother in Griffin, Georgia since she was approximately eight years old and only returned to the home of June Shannon when she was 17.
“Anna has had a very sordid relationship with her mother throughout her life and went various periods of time without speaking to her,” he said in his filing.
“Likewise, June’s presence in the minor child’s life has been inconsistent,” he said in the court documents.
“Petitioner has been a stable and consistent part of the minor child’s life since she was eight months old and has continued to do so even after years from his divorce from Anna.”
