Anna Grace Phelan, the 19-year-old influencer who documented her unwavering faith and cancer battle on TikTok, has died, her family confirmed.

‘It is with deep sorrow that we inform you of the passing of our beloved daughter, Anna Grace Phelan. She has transitioned to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,’ a statement shared on her social media profiles expressed.

‘So many of you have followed her journey through a difficult battle with cancer and bore witness to her powerful testimony of faith,’ the statement continued. 

‘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 first revealed she was battling brain cancer in September, when she told her followers about the symptoms that led to her diagnosis—numbness in the left side of her face and the right side of her leg, along with balance issues and vision problems.

‘I started losing my balance,’ she said in one video. ‘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.’

An MRI revealed a lesion on her brain, and after undergoing a biopsy, Phelan was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer.

‘This is definitely the hardest news I’ve ever received,’ she shared in a TikTok posted in September. ‘By all means, this is not easy. Just going to trust in the Lord and try and keep pushing forward.’

In the months that followed, Phelan continued to post candid updates about her condition, leaning on her Christian faith and encouraging others to do the same. 

Her story resonated with thousands who found comfort in her resilience and grace.

In the last video she posted, she opened a get-well present sent to her from Tim Tebow and gave a grim update on hear health.

She told her followers: ‘Things haven’t been good. 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.’

Per her obituary, Phelan’s funeral will be held Thursday at Galilee Christian Church in Jackson County, Georgia, with burial to follow at the church’s cemetery.
