In March 2020, Pierce gave an update on her health on Facebook, saying that she had been diagnosed with kidney cancer and had had several surgeries as part of her treatment plan.

My 600-Lb Life fans weighed in on the tragedy

“It’s so sad how many people profiled still die young even after losing so much weight.”

“It truly is. It truly brings to light how deadly it is to be anywhere near super morbidly obese and the strain it puts on your organs.”

“How awful for Charley. I just saw on Charity’s Facebook page that she’d posted that she was diagnosed with kidney cancer in 2020. She never updated about it. At the top of her Facebook page, Charity posted that she’d lost almost 540 pounds.”

More comments from fans: “This is sad, RIP Charity”

“I know these two women had a complicated relationship (as many mothers and daughters do), but after the last WATN I didn’t follow up with them. I hope they were at peace with the relationship they did have when Charity passed.”
