Zuza Beine Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers from Sep. 25 to Sep. 26, 2025.
Zuza Beine, a Wisconsin teen whose openness about childhood cancer inspired millions online, died on September 22, 2025. She was 14.

Diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia at about three-and-a-half, Zuza chronicled an 11-year course of treatment, including three bone marrow transplants, with honesty and grace.

Her short videos mixed forthright updates with everyday teen moments, reminding viewers to cherish small joys. Days before her death, she posted about gratitude for food and hairstyles, despite pain.

Zuza lived in Waukesha, Wisconsin, where local coverage first introduced many to her upbeat dance clips and resilient spirit. She later joined the creators' collective Glow House.

In a family statement shared to her social media, loved ones wrote, "More than anything, she wanted to be a normal, healthy kid. But what made her life so beautiful was how she learned to face the hardest circumstances, like her disease, and still live fully."

Musician Noah Kahan paid tribute, noting he was "absolutely heartbroken." Her family shared that she "transitioned" while listening to his music-fitting for a devoted fan.

Beyond numbers that swelled after her death, Zuza's legacy is measured in messages from followers who felt seen, strengthened, and less alone by her witness.

At the family's request, memorial gifts may support her late uncle's wife and children via GoFundMe.

I just wanna take a minute and talk about Zuza... my bby girl, my fav influencer, the one who honestly changed the way I look at life. She was only 13, but the way she carried herself? It was different. She had this glow, this soft but strong energy that made you feel like everything was gonna be okay, even when she was the one fighting the hardest battle.

Watching her videos, seeing her smile through pain most people can´t even imagine... that touched me in a way I can´t explain. She never acted like a victim, she never let cancer take away her personality, her humor, her lil spark. She showed us what real courage looks like. And even though she was young, she was wise in this quiet, powerful way. She made people feel seen. She made people feel hope.

Losing her hurts. It really does. It feels unreal that someone so sweet, so bright, had to go through all that and leave so soon. But I truly believe she´s in God´s arms now, finally resting, finally free from every treatment, every hospital room, every moment of pain. Heaven feels a little more real knowing someone like her is there.

And even though she´s gone, she left so much love behind. She inspired me to live softer, be kinder, appreciate the little things. She made me wanna be a better person without even knowing me. That´s the kind of impact only special people have.

Zuza, thank you for everything you gave the world. Thank you for being strong, stylish, funny, gentle, and real. Thank you for letting us see your life and your light. You´ll always be loved, always remembered, and always someone I´ll look up to. Rest in peace, beautiful girl. You deserved the whole world and more.

Zuza, I still see your smile and your hand Love shape.I wished that I had found you from your being of your journey. I have prayed for you every day once I discovered you and will until my final breath.
God needed another beautiful flower to add to his bouquet that is why he chose you. Zuza is now pain free and disease free. You´re free to dance, sing and act silly with new friends. I can see you sitting looking into a mirror getting ready to do your daily facial routine and your hair style for the day. I think about you several times a day and know you are looking down on your family and close friends. Your followers grieve and have learned strength, wisdom and courage from you sweetheart

Wow. How is it been a month already? I know I've commented on this obituary 2 other times, but what my point is today is that even though we have not yet moved past the grief, now is the time to be happy. Be happy because you know Zuza will always there in your heart. Be happy because now you have yet another beautiful angel looking over you and protecting you. Be happy because Zuza is in so, so much less pain now. I was Zuza's best friend that was her age, and let me tell you, she made me smile. I could start my day being the saddest person ever, then I would see Zuza's cute, happy, smiley face and my day would always be so much better. Be happy, because now you know you know Zuza is looking down over us and smiling.

Zuza,

Wow. I never knew god needed another angel. We are all praying for you, your family and friends. I'm so happy you considered me a friend. Even though nobody can see you, we all know deeply in our hearts you are up in heaven dancing in the clouds, and looking over people who need your blessing the most. I know this passing was only about 3 weeks ago, but nobody will ever get past this.

You are so, so, so strong. I have only fought cancer 3 times, but 6?? You were an amazing angel. You are now known as my cancer idol, and every time I complain about the smallest headache, I think of all the pain you had to go through, and how strong you were about all of it.

Rest in peace my baby. Love you.
