Zuza Beine Obituary
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.

My name is Marta Bota. I´m a professional makeup artist from the Washington, DC area. I started following Zuza´s IG page/ journey about one year ago and loved watching her grwm videos and hearing about her life and cancer journey. I lost both of my parents to cancer, my father passed away from the same disease that Zuza had. My heart goes out to your family. My sincere condolences. Although I didn´t know her personally, she touched my heart and soul with her beautiful spirit. May her body be resting in eternal peace and may you feel her spirit around you and with you always.

Zuza was my favorite influencer. Whenever she would post, I would always get excited. I know her fight with cancer was hard, but now she no longer has to fight because she is with God. I'm praying for her family and friends every single night. We all miss you, Zuza. I hope you know that sweet girl. We love you, Zuza.

It is with immense sadness and shock that I learn of the death of my little Zuza, so brave and so beautiful.
I had seen her latest posts, where she said she was suffering more and more, and it pained me greatly and worried me a lot too.
But I didn't think she would decide to join the angels so quickly.
From France, I offer you my deepest condolences. I believe that Zuza touched the lives of many people around the world.
Please know that even though I did not know her personally, I loved her deeply and mourn her passing.
With all my affection.

Zuza, I hope you find peace and soar high above us, surrounded by the love that so many people had for you. It's hard to believe that you're gone, and the world feels a little dimmer without your bright spirit. You were cherished and admired by so many, and your absence leaves a void that can never be filled. Every memory we shared feels bittersweet now, and I wish more than anything that we could have made more together.
You were taken from us too soon, and it breaks my heart to think of all the dreams you had yet to fulfill. We will carry your memory with us, holding onto the laughter, the light, and the love you brought into our lives. Fly high, beautiful soul; you will always be remembered and missed. Forever 14, and forever in our hearts-Sage

Dear Zuza,
You made me feel better in all aspects of life. You made me believe that cancer can´t control your life whether it´s you who´s going through it or someone else. You were so positive and bright and lit up every room you went into. You were a valued member of the glow house and made such a difference to all who knew you.
You deserved so much better my love.
You will be greatly missed by so many.
All my love

I remember the first time I saw you it was your glow house video where you became an official member of the glow house. I liked your content so I subscribed as one does. I binged all your videos and fell in love. When I found out you had cancer I was so sad to see all the videos of you struggling, I constantly watched for new videos, from your channel glow house and others, when you weren't there that one time for the glow house event I was so sad, you made the room light up whenever you entered. if there was another meet n greet I would have gone just to meet you, I found out u passed when I saw a video titled, Child Influncer ZUZA BEINE has passed away. I immediately got teary eyed, (I was in school :( I went to the bathroom and cried. even though I didn't know you personally I feel like I lost a close friend, I wish I could have met you and anyone in your life was so so so so so so lucky to have met you, I'm turning 14 and I will be sure to wear your favorite color to honor you. I know you are in a better place now sweet sweet angle, rest easy girl
Love, Quincy Wakley

My most sincere condolences to Zuza's parents, and those closest to her. I never spoke to Zuza, or met her, but I was over the moon listening to how joyful she was. I am a grieving mom of 2 daughters. Twin girls, who passed on at very different times, for very different reasons. Without God, and my other children, I don't know where I'd be. Grieving a child is different. It's hard, but it just shows how much love was given to her. I will miss her videos. I asked my daughter's Ayanna and Staisha to go welcome her in heaven. Praying, and please reach out if you need someone who understands. I included a picture of my babies. They were born 3 months early. Many prayers and lots of love. Zuza was an exceptional little being.

I´ve never knew her personally but I was so heartbroken to hear the news knowing that from even on a screen, she was a sweet and loving girl who, despite carrying a painful disease, managed to bring light into her loved ones lives. Rest in peace sweet girl. Heaven gained another beautiful angel this week. Live life fully in heaven knowing you´re not in pain anymore and have won the battle. I send love to her family and her friends. Prayers from Georgia
