It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, and niece, Zaria Michele-Nicole Costilla, who left us on October 7, 2025, just six precious days after joining our lives. Born on October 1, 2025, in Ann Arbor, MI, Zaria touched our hearts in ways words cannot capture.
Zaria is lovingly survived by her devoted father, Jose Costilla, her caring mother, Brittany Branham, and her siblings, Zayden and Zion Branham, as well as her sister Zoellah Costilla. She will forever be cherished by her grandparents: Ginny and Jay Hegedus, Greg and Lisa Buell, and Brandy and Gus Rodriguez. Each of her relatives mourns the loss of this sweet spirit and will carry her memory in their hearts.
In celebration of her brief but profound impact on our lives, family and friends will gather for a visitation at the Holihan-Atkin-Barclay Funeral Home, Grand Ledge on October 11, 2025, from 2-4:00 PM.
We invite all those who knew and loved Zaria to join us in remembrance and support to honor her fleeting yet beautiful life. May she forever be our angel, watching over us from above. Memorial contributions may be given to the family at https://gofund.me/e429c08a4. Share your condolences at holihanatkin.com.
