Anna Grace Phelan, 19-Year-Old TikTok Sensation, Dies After Brave Brain Cancer Battle — Fans Mourn
• Hot Trendy News
TikTok creator Anna Grace Phelan, whose candid videos chronicling her fight against stage-4 glioblastoma touched hundreds of thousands of followers, has died at age 19. Her family confirmed she “went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” on Friday, May 23, less than a year after doctors discovered an inoperable tumor in her brain stem.
Phelan first noticed facial numbness and leg tingling in August 2024, days before she was set to start college. An MRI revealed the lesion; biopsy results soon confirmed the aggressive cancer. Rather than retreat from public view, the Jefferson, Georgia teen launched a series of raw updates on TikTok that showed radiation sessions, hospital stays, and heartfelt talks about her Christian faith. “This is definitely the hardest news I’ve ever received,” she told viewers last September, “but I’m going to trust in the Lord and keep pushing forward.”
Her online diary struck a chord: the @phelann.annaa account grew to nearly 400,000 followers, and a GoFundMe campaign for medical expenses surpassed $65,000. Followers rallied again after a May 14 post in which Phelan revealed her tumor had expanded into an area controlling her breathing, calling it “a place where it can’t be operated on” and asking supporters to “keep praying.”
Tributes flooded social platforms Saturday as news of her passing spread. Many fans praised Phelan’s “powerful testimony of faith,” while fellow cancer warriors thanked her for normalizing the roller-coaster of treatment. Health advocates also highlighted her story as a reminder that glioblastoma—though rare in teens—can strike at any age and currently carries a five-year survival rate below 10 percent.
According to her obituary, the Florida-born influencer is survived by parents William “Buddy” and Nadine Phelan, brother Harper, and a large extended family. Visitation will be held Wednesday, May 28, and a celebration of life is scheduled for Thursday, May 29, at Galilee Christian Church in Jackson County, Georgia, followed by burial in the church cemetery. Well-wishers are encouraged to wear her favorite color, lavender, and to honor her memory through donations to pediatric brain-tumor research.
Even in her final weeks, Phelan used TikTok to highlight small joys—backyard picnics with friends, worship nights at church, laughing fits with her younger brother. Those moments, loved ones say, captured the spirit she wanted the world to remember: “Fearless, faithful, and full of grace.”
