Anna Grace was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive and incurable form of brain cancer, last September. She kept her followers updated on her struggles, telling them that it was "the hardest news" she has "ever received."
The young woman's parents took to her social media accounts to share the devastating news that Anna Grace had passed.
"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 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," 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."
The Georgia native is survived by her parents, William "Buddy" Phelan and Nadine Phelan, her brother Harper David Phelan, and extended family.
Anna took to TikTok in September 2024 to share the news of her diagnosis with her followers.
"I started losing my balance," she said in one video. "I started having vision problems in my left eye, and my numbness in my face and on my leg is still here. My speech started to seem weird. My head's very foggy."
