Just days before her passing, Zuza posted a heartfelt video where she reflected on gratitude. She shared how cancer had made her appreciate life’s simplest gifts—things like enjoying delicious food or trying new hairstyles. It was a message that struck a chord with many, reminding people not to overlook the small joys in everyday life. Her family later said that it was no coincidence her final video focused on gratitude, calling it a perfect reflection of her outlook: a life that balanced beauty and suffering, but never stopped embracing both.
More than anything, Zuza longed to be a normal, healthy teenager. But what made her extraordinary was the way she faced her illness—head-on, with grace, humor, and honesty. In her posts, she didn’t shy away from the reality of her pain. In one of her final updates, she admitted she could barely walk from the intensity of it. Yet even in those moments, she found space to be real, vulnerable, and brave.
Tributes have poured in since the news of her passing. Among them was actress Melissa Gilbert, who called Zuza a “ray of light and beauty,” praising her honesty and courage while sending love to her family. Thousands of fans also filled her comment sections with messages of condolences and gratitude for the impact she had on their lives.
Zuza’s family has asked that, instead of flowers, donations be directed to support her late uncle’s wife and children. It was another sign of their focus on love, community, and giving back—values Zuza herself embodied throughout her short but meaningful life.
Her story is not just one of loss but of inspiration. Zuza Beine may have left this world far too soon, but her spirit, her lessons on gratitude, and her unwavering strength will continue to live on in the countless people she touched. She will be remembered not just as an influencer, but as a young girl who reminded the world to live fully, even in the face of life’s hardest battles.
