Anna Grace Phelan Dies After Brave Cancer Fight at 19

TikTok sensation Anna Grace Phelan has passed away, leaving a wave of heartbreak across the internet. Her family announced her death on Saturday, May 24, through her TikTok account.

Teen TikTok Star Loses Battle with Brain Cancer

Anna Grace, 19, died on Friday, May 23, after a yearlong battle with brain cancer. According to her obituary, she passed peacefully at home surrounded by family.

โ€œIt is with great sadness to announce that our beautiful daughter, Anna Grace Phelan, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,โ€ her parents wrote in a heartfelt message.

The Georgia native captured the hearts of thousands as she documented her battle online.

The Diagnosis that Changed Everything

Phelan was set to begin college last summer when strange symptoms beganโ€”numbness on one side of her face and leg. A rushed MRI revealed a brain lesion. After a biopsy, doctors confirmed a devastating diagnosis: grade 4 glioma.

From that moment on, her life became a public journey of faith, strength, and struggle.

Faith in the Face of Fear

โ€œThis is definitely the hardest news Iโ€™ve ever received,โ€ Phelan said in a TikTok posted in September 2024. โ€œBy all means, this is not easy. Just going to trust in the Lord and try and keep pushing forward.โ€

As her condition worsened, Phelan remained transparent. She shared the highs and lowsโ€”radiation therapy, breathing struggles, and dizzy spellsโ€”with raw honesty.

She Gained a Loyal Following

Despite her prognosis, she built a devoted audience of nearly 140,000 followers on TikTok. Fans tuned in to hear her words of faith and encouragementโ€”even when she was weak.

Her final videos showed her enjoying simple joys. On May 15, she posted about a backyard party with friends. Just a day earlier, she acknowledged her tumor had grown and was now inoperable.

โ€œKeep me in your prayers,โ€ she said gently. โ€œThank you all so much.โ€

A Life of Love and Legacy

Anna Grace was a receptionist at a local medical practice and deeply involved in her church. She was known for her kindness, warmth, and unshakable faith.

She leaves behind her parents, William โ€œBuddyโ€ Phelan and Nadine Phelan, her brother Harper, and a loving extended family.

Familyโ€™s Message to Supporters

โ€œThank you for the countless thousands of prayers for healing and peace,โ€ the Phelans wrote. โ€œMay we all rejoice with the assurance that she is in Heaven now, and she has been healed.โ€

Her family will hold a funeral in Jefferson, Georgia, on May 29 to honor her memory.

A Brave Teen Who Inspired Thousands

Anna Graceโ€™s story wasnโ€™t just about cancer. It was about courage, community, and belief. Her voiceโ€”gentle, genuine, and grounded in faithโ€”echoed across TikTok and far beyond.

While she may be gone, her message of hope endures.
