Naomi Irwin

October 7, 2017 ~ September 5, 2026

Born in: Indianapolis, Indiana
Resided in: Columbus , Indiana

Naomi G. Irwin, 8 years old, passed away peacefully, after a courageous battle with Leukemia, on September 5, 2026.  Naomi was born on October 7, 2017, in Indianapolis, to Erin (Aimers) Rose and Kyle Irwin, who both survive.

Full of life, strength, and love, Naomi was a third grade student at St. Bartholomew Catholic School.  She was a member of St. Bartholomew Catholic Church, where she received First Communion and participated in First Reconciliation last school year with her classmates.  She loved animals, swimming, was a budding artist, and enjoyed spending time with her friends and cousins.  Naomi loved anything pink or purple.  Though her time spent here was brief, the love, energy, and smiles that she spread will never be forgotten.

Eight years wasn’t nearly enough time with our sweet girl, but she packed more love, strength, and joy into that short time. To know my Naomi was to love her.
She was as fierce and stubborn as she was joyful and loving. With her huge smile and an infectious laugh that could light up any room, she had a way of making every person feel truly special.
Her deep love for animals (but not insects) and endless playful energy brought so much happiness to our lives.
She fought Leukemia with incredible courage and strength for 2 years. We are heartbroken beyond words, but so endlessly grateful for the eight years we had with her.
We will miss her every second of the day.

Naomi was preceded in death by her uncle, Justin Aimers.

In addition to her parents, she is survived by her loving maternal grandparents, William and Sandra Aimers; paternal grandparents, Barbara Irwin and John Irwin; siblings, Noah Rose, Lola Rose, and Kamden Irwin; aunts and uncles, Erika (Matthew) Whelan; Nick and Justin Irwin; a large extended family consisting of many loving cousins.

Friends and family will gather to remember, honor, and celebrate Naomi’s life on Friday, September 11, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m., in the Narthex at St. Bartholomew Catholic Church.  The Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 10 a.m. in the church.  Fr. Chris Wadelton will be the principal celebrant.  In lieu of flowers, memorials may be directed to St. Bartholomew Catholic School or to Riley Hospital for Children.

  1. Naomi was a classmate of my sons. At the start of this school year he was so happy and excited to tell me that Naomi was feeling good and able to come to school. Elliott prayed for Naomi often, and I know that he will lead our family in continuing to pray for Naomi’s loved ones.
    We will think of you often, sweet girl! Rest peacefully.

  2. I hope you are somewhere peaceful now, surrounded by light, free from pain, and smiling that beautiful smile again. 🦋✨ You will forever be remembered, forever be loved, and forever be someone’s precious little angel. Until the day you meet again, may your memory bring comfort to everyone who loves you. 🤍

  3. We met and spent time with Naomi at Riley. So spunky and full of life, living for the moment! She was always busy running remote control cars with friends up and down the halls or sitting in the doorways coloring with other patients. My heart breaks for you all. My thoughts and prayers to her family during this extremely difficult and unfair time. May God wrap you in his arms and comfort you! Rest easy sweet Naomi…
