Mama June’s sister Doe Doe calls birthday girl ‘amazing’

Lauryn “Pumpkin” Shannon turned 23 this week, and her aunt Joanne “Doe Doe” Shannon paid tribute to her.

On Saturday, Mama June’s sister took to Instagram to share a montage of throwback photos featuring Pumpkin and her family with Josh Efird and her sisters Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson and Jessica “Chubbs” Shannon.

Doe Doe then showered her niece with praise in her caption as she welcomed the birthday girl on her special day.

“Wishing a happy birthday to our favorite Lauryn aka @pumpkin. She is an amazing sister, mother, wife, daughter, cousin, niece and suffocation (sic). When you see her you will see one of her 5 children and she loves them all. We love you to the moon and back. Have a fantastic weekend,” Doe Doe wrote.

Pumpkin shares four children with Josh – Ella Grace, 5, Bentley Jameson, 1, and twins Sylus Ray and Stella Renae, 8 months. However, she also has her sister Alana, 17, under her care after she was awarded full custody in June last year.

Fans were quick to shower the post with positive messages, with many praising Pumpkin for stepping up when her family needed her most.

Pumpkin has yet to update her fans on how she celebrated her 23rd birthday on Saturday. Days earlier, she revealed on her TikTok that she and Honey Boo Boo got back to the gym after the New Year. She told her fans that she will keep them updated on her weight loss journey on the platform.

As for Mama June, it wasn’t clear if she welcomed her daughter on their special day. Honey Boo Boo revealed last October that her mother hasn’t communicated with them despite her promise to work to repair their relationship.
