Ewald, Eibhlin Elspeth Matilda, age 15, of Indianapolis, IN passed away Friday, January 22, 2016 at Cincinnati Children's Medical Center, surrounded by loving family and friends. Eibhlin was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) on June 22, 2015. She completed a round of treatment at the Riley Children's Hospital in Indianapolis. Eibhlin transferred to the Cincinnati Children's Medical Center for additional rounds of chemotherapy treatment followed by a bone marrow transplant on November 20th, 2016. The excellent loving care she received at both hospitals is deeply appreciated.

Eibhlin was a freshman at Park Tudor School in Indianapolis and a 2015 graduate of The Orchard School. She loved playing soccer and softball, participating in theater and singing, music of all genres, designing clothes, and experimenting with fashion, make-up and the latest nail polish colors. She also enjoyed traveling, spoke fluent mandarin, and loved animals; her interests and activities were as varied and eclectic as her shining personality. Eibhlin and those around her embraced her unicorn spirit - rare, beautiful and unique. She was sensitive, witty, creative and was a free spirit. Eibhlin shared her individuality and challenged those around her to look at the world through a different lens. She adored her family and, as the youngest, she was loved, picked on and protected by four big brothers who believe she hung the moon.
