Zoe Anyan, 7, died Wednesday Feb 16, 2011 at Boston Children's Hospital with her family around her. Zoe had been receiving hospice care for the malignant Diffuse Glioma, an aggressive brain tumor that her mother Melissa said no child has ever survived. But she had attended school as recently as last month. She had marked her 7th birthday in November with an in-school party that included a visit and a proclamation from Mayor James L. Richetelli Jr. She received a puppy for Christmas and had recently moved with her family to a larger apartment. She was a happy, friendly girl who enjoyed eating, especially McDonald's french fries. Zoe is survived by her parents, Melissa Castango-Anyan and Scott Anyan, a sister, Jasmine, 16, and several close relatives.
