Social Media Star Anna Grace Phelan Dies at 19
Social media influencer Anna Grace Phelan, beloved for her unwavering faith and candid documentation of her cancer battle on TikTok, has tragically passed away at the age of 19.

Her family confirmed the heartbreaking news via a statement released on her social media accounts, thanking her followers for their prayers and support throughout her difficult journey.
“It is with great sadness to announce that our beautiful daughter, Anna Grace Phelan, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,” the family’s message read. “So many of you have followed her journey through a difficult battle with cancer and bore witness to her powerful testimony of faith. Thank you for the countless thousands of prayers for healing and peace. May we all rejoice with the assurance that she is in Heaven now, and she has been healed.”

Phelan rose to prominence on TikTok by sharing intimate updates on her cancer treatment and offering messages of hope grounded in her strong Christian beliefs. Her transparency and strength quickly earned her a dedicated following who were inspired by her optimism and courage in the face of a devastating diagnosis.
A Sudden and Aggressive Diagnosis
In September, Phelan first revealed to her followers that she had been diagnosed with glioblastoma, a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer with no known cure. Her symptoms began subtly but escalated quickly—she experienced numbness on the left side of her face and right side of her leg, balance issues, vision loss in her left eye, and slurred speech.

“I started losing my balance,” she explained in an emotional video posted on TikTok. “I started having vision problems in my left eye, my numbness in my face and on my leg is still here. My speech started to seem weird. My head’s very foggy.”
Following an MRI scan and a biopsy, doctors confirmed she had glioblastoma. The diagnosis was devastating, yet Phelan responded with remarkable resilience. “This is definitely the hardest news I’ve ever received,” she said in one of her first videos after being diagnosed. “By all means, this is not easy. Just going to trust in the Lord and try and keep pushing forward.”

Despite the seriousness of her condition, Anna Grace remained committed to sharing her journey, offering heartfelt updates and spiritual encouragement to her followers. Her message was always consistent: to trust in God’s plan, regardless of the outcome.

As her condition deteriorated, her posts became even more moving. In her final TikTok video, Phelan gave an updat after receiving a get-well gift from former NFL player and outspoken Christian Tim Tebow. While expressing gratitude, she also delivered a somber health update.
“Things haven’t been good,” she told her audience. “My tumor grew and it's in the area where I can’t breathe. It can’t be operated. So, I just wanted to say thank you for all the prayers. It would take a miracle, but I’m not giving up yet. If you keep praying for me, I think that I’ll make it.”
An Outpouring of Support and a Lasting Legacy
Phelan’s authenticity and vulnerability in the face of terminal illness deeply moved her audience, many of whom found strength and encouragement in her message. Her story sparked a wave of support from across the globe. A GoFundMe page set up after her diagnosis raised over $65,000 to help with medical expenses, and messages of love poured in from thousands of fans.
Anna Grace's journey was not only one of suffering but also one of faith, love, and inspiration. She used her platform to advocate for hope and the power of prayer, even when her prognosis became increasingly grim.
“She taught us how to suffer with grace,” wrote one commenter on her final post. “She never asked ‘why me?’—she just kept glorifying God.”
Funeral Services and Tributes
According to her obituary, funeral services for Anna Grace Phelan will be held on Thursday at Galilee Christian Church in Jackson County, Georgia. She will be laid to rest in the church’s cemetery, surrounded by loved ones and supporters who admired her for her strength and unwavering faith.
Anna Grace is survived by her parents, William “Buddy” Phelan and Nadine Phelan, her younger brother Harper David Phelan, and an extended network of family and friends who stood by her side throughout her courageous battle.

In the days since her passing, tributes have continued to flood social media, with users celebrating her life and legacy. Many have shared how Anna Grace’s faith inspired them to reconnect with their spirituality or offer prayers in her memory.
Glioblastoma: A Devastating Cancer with Few Options
Glioblastoma, the type of brain cancer that claimed Anna Grace’s life, is one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer. According to the American Brain Tumor Association, the average survival time is 12 to 18 months, even with treatment. The tumor's location and tendency to grow rapidly make surgical intervention difficult, if not impossible, in many cases.
While treatment options such as radiation, chemotherapy, and clinical trials exist, they rarely lead to long-term remission. Anna Grace’s case highlights the urgent need for continued research into brain cancers and the importance of raising awareness about early symptoms and treatment options.
A Life That Touched Thousands
Though her life was tragically short, Anna Grace Phelan's impact will not be forgotten. Her story is a testament to how faith and authenticity can inspire hope, even in the darkest of circumstances. As tributes continue to pour in from around the world, it’s clear that Anna Grace’s voice will echo far beyond her time on earth.
“She ran her race with endurance,” another follower wrote. “Now she’s home, healed, and free.”
Anna Grace Phelan may be gone, but the legacy she leaves behind—of courage, faith, and the power of sharing one’s truth—will continue to shine.
