TikToker Anna Grace Phelan, known for openly sharing her battle with brain cancer, has died at just 19. Her passing came less than a year after she was diagnosed. Her story touched many hearts online.
Her family confirmed her death in an emotional post on her TikTok account on May 24. She died the day before, on Friday, May 23. The message read: “With broken hearts, we share that our sweet Anna Grace Phelan went home to be with Jesus. Many of you followed her tough journey, and saw the strength of her faith in the hardest moments.”
TikToker Anna Grace Phelan’s bravery inspired thousands. She didn’t hide her pain. She documented everything — from her first symptoms to her treatments — all while staying grounded in her faith. Her videos weren’t just updates; they were raw, real, and full of hope.
“Thank you for every prayer,” her family wrote. “She is fully healed now, in Heaven. And we know that peace comes through salvation in Jesus Christ.”
Anna lived in Georgia but was originally from Florida. She had just finished high school in Jefferson, Georgia, when life took a sharp turn. Instead of starting college, she began fighting for her life. She worked as a receptionist at a local medical clinic and stayed active in her Christian community.
Her obituary says she is survived by her parents, Buddy and Nadine Phelan, her brother Harper, and a large extended family that loved her deeply.
Back in summer 2024, TikToker Anna Grace Phelan started feeling numbness in her face and leg. At first, she didn’t know what it was. An MRI revealed a lesion on her brain. Later, a biopsy confirmed the worst — she had a grade 4 glioma, an aggressive brain tumor. More on that type of cancer can be found here.
“This is the hardest news I’ve ever gotten,” she said through tears in one TikTok video. “But I’m trusting God and pushing forward.”
She kept posting, even as her symptoms worsened. Breathing became difficult. Dizziness got worse. Still, she smiled. Still, she shared.
In one of her final videos, just days before her passing, she revealed that her tumor had grown and could no longer be removed. She thanked her 140,000 followers and asked them to keep praying.
On May 15, she posted footage of a sweet gathering with friends in her backyard — a rare joyful moment amid the pain. Just one day earlier, she had opened up about the latest news on her condition, yet still took time to thank everyone for their kindness.
TikToker Anna Grace Phelan may be gone, but her light remains. Her courage, honesty, and unshakable faith moved thousands. Her legacy isn’t just in the views or followers — it’s in the hearts she reached.
I believe Faught a Good Fight of Faith
May Her beautiful Soul Rest in Peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️
