Ziva Kate Gibbs

Baby Ziva Kate Gibbs, our beautiful, perfect daughter and sweet angel with a head full of dark curly hair, was welcomed into the world on April 21, 2025, at Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis. Arriving at 5:45 am and weighing 6 lbs., 12 oz, Ziva was the second child born to Drew and Sierra (Catellier) Gibbs. A fighter from the start, Ziva resiliently battled a rare heart condition called Ebstein's Anomaly. Undergoing multiple surgeries and procedures, and spending most of her precious short life at Riley Hospital for Children. Her loving mom, dad, and big sister moved into the Ronald McDonald House to stay by her side. Against all odds, Ziva's strength shone through, and she was finally able to go home on July 4th, bringing immeasurable joy to her family. Once home she met many family members for the first time and was showered in love. Ziva passed away with her Mother and Father by her side on July 18 at Riley’s Children Hospital.
