TikTok star Anna Grace Phelan, 19, passed away on May 23, 2025, after a courageous battle with an aggressive brain cancer. Known for her faith and vulnerability, Anna Grace used social media to document her fight with Grade 4 diffuse midline glioma. Her final video, posted just a week before her passing, showed her thanking Tim Tebow for a care package — her voice soft, her smile brave.
Her mother shared the news through a tearful TikTok tribute, celebrating Anna Grace’s strength and unshakable belief in God. “She never let go of her faith,” the message read. “Even in the hardest moments, she brought comfort to others — even strangers — through a screen.” The video became a space for mourning as thousands of followers flooded the comments with condolences.
Born in Orlando and raised in Georgia, Anna Grace had just graduated high school and was preparing for college when her life took a tragic turn. Despite her diagnosis, she remained active in her church, worked at a cancer clinic, and inspired thousands through honest, heartfelt videos. A funeral will be held on May 29 at Galilee Christian Church.
A GoFundMe created to support her medical journey now serves as a memorial, raising over $66,000. Anna Grace never sought sympathy — only connection and purpose. In her short life, she became a symbol of grace under fire, reminding us all that even in the darkest times, light can shine.
