"The last thing she told me before she died was, ‘Listen, my time's coming to an end' and she said you are going to change the world by sharing your story," Mackenize McKee recalled to E! News. "That was one of the last things she told me. She said, ‘You are going to change the world.' She called me her warrior so I need to live as her warrior and do my part."
When it comes to relationships, Mackenzie learned so much from Brad Douthit and Angie Douthit's marriage. "Their love story was amazing," Mackenzie shared with E! News. "It proved you didn't need money. You don't need materialistic things. You just need each other and you just need true love. You need true, intimate love."
Whenever Mackenzie struggled to raise her children, Angie was there to lend a helping hand. "I don't know where [my son] Gannon would be right now if you weren't there. He knows who raised him for three years," Mackenzie shared in a previous Teen Mom OG clip. Angie replied, "Well, I hope I've been a good mom and a good nanny and I hope you guys will tell your kids about me all the time."
"Since the day I was born, @angiedouthit has been my fitness inspiration. I always wanted to be a strong and tough as her," Mackenzie previously wrote on Instagram. "Through her cancer journey, she has really proven just how tough she is."
Throughout Angie's health journey that included stage four lung cancer, Mackenzie would share updates about her mom's progress. "My mommas hair though," the Teen Mom star previously shared with a heart emoji. "@angiedouthit #hairafterchemo #godsplan #angiesstory."
Before passing away, Angie was able to celebrate many holidays with both her daughter and grandchildren. "Sometimes you can't be fixed. Sometimes you have to just be with Jesus so you're not sick anymore," Mackenzie warned her kids during an episode of Teen Mom OG. "I just need you to enjoy every moment with her so you can have those memories forever and really remind her that you love her every time you see her."
As her mom became sick, Mackenzie made it a priority to spend even more time with Angie. Whether attending doctor appointments or planning a surprise getaway, the MTV star cherished every moment with her mom.
"She always said, 'It's easy, we were put on earth to share Gods love.' And boy did she," Mackenzie shared with her followers when announcing her mom's passing. "700 daily post for you guys to read daily, hundreds of speaking engagements even when she could barely walk or speak, she simply trusted That God would speak through her." Angie even made time to write a book titled God's Plan.
"Momma, i did not deserve you. But you loved me so unconditionally. You were the glue that held me together. The one who always believed in me. Idk what I will do without you but I hope this goes by fast so I can hurry and come be with you," Mackenzie wrote on social media after her mom's death. "You passed a torch down to us and I will not fail you. I will live for Christ and love like him like you always taught me. I will make you proud momma."
