On Sunday, Anna shared a photo of herself and her smiling sister to her Instagram stories.
She added the caption: “Happy Birthday, Priscilla!” and nothing else.
The former Counting On star has remained largely silent on social media since Josh was sent to prison.
She resurfaced in late June to post a special message on her 34th birthday and was immediately slammed by fans for doing so.
In another Instagram Story, she invoked her doomed husband when she shared, “Officially 34,” and followed it up with, “Fourteen years since I said ‘yes!’ “”
Fans jumped into the comments section of an online thread and ripped the ex-TLC star for being “delusional.”
In May, Josh was sentenced to 12 years in prison after being found guilty of child pornography charges.
One reviewer said, “She’s too embarrassed to be associated with a literal creep like him. Either that or she doesn’t want to face the reality that he’s in jail.”

Another added: “She’s really delusional and I’m so worried about her kids.”
A third wrote: “I will never understand. She should be furious if not for any reason other than the situation he has created for her and the children.”
THE PHRASE
Arkansas Judge Timothy L. Brooks sentenced the eldest Duggar child to more than 12 years in prison in May.
The judge called his crimes “the sickest of the sick” in a crowded courtroom.
He told Josh, “You’ve done some really bad things. But in your whole life you’ve done some good things. The real test of a man’s character is what a man does when no one else does. looked.”
The Sun obtained photos and video of his wife as she fled the courtroom.
Anna looked sullen after learning that the father of her seven children was behind bars.
JAIL TIME
The Sun previously reported that he would serve his sentence for child pornography at FCI Seagoville in Dallas, Texas.
Anna should have no problem following the dress code, as the modest dresser is prohibited from wearing short skirts and dresses, cropped tops, low necklines and more revealing clothes.
The facility is low-security and houses 1,751 inmates in its detention center and satellite camp, according to the Bureau of Federal Prisons.
Seagoville has a Sex Offender Management Program (SOMP) and in 2018 it was estimated that approximately 40% of inmates were sex offenders.
NO VISIT
But the married couple will not be able to get too close to each other.
Previously, The Sun exclusively revealed that Josh was unable to have conjugal visits with his devoted wife.
The couple – who married in 2008 – share seven children.
According to the Bureau of Federal Prisons website, conjugal visits are “not permitted at any BOP facility.”
Josh is limited to just four hours of visits per month, although more can be requested.
According to BOP, “(tasteful) handshakes, hugs and kisses” are permitted at the start and end of a visit.
