A 28-year-old news anchor in Arizona passed away unexpectedly after suffering a brain aneurysm.

The KOLD News 13 team in Tucson, Arizona, announced the sudden passing of beloved anchor Ana Orsini.

Tyler Butler and Carsyn Currier, the anchor’s co-workers, announced her passing during a newscast on Monday.

“Last week, we lost a beloved member of our KOLD news team. Ana Orsini was our anchor, a leader of the morning team, and most importantly a great friend to so many at the station. I had the pleasure of working with her during the morning, even though it was for too short of a time,” KOLD meteorologist Cory Kowitz said.

“Thank you to our talented morning team for putting together this beautiful tribute video. Rest in peace Ana,” he added.

Per KOLD News 13:

The 13 News Family is saddened to report the passing of our beloved friend and co-anchor Ana Orsini.

Ana had been at 13 News since June 2023 and we are devastated by her unexpected passing. She died last week of a brain aneurysm.

While there is no perfect way to remember the life Ana led, we want to honor her by sharing some of our favorite Ana moments with you in the above video.

Ana’s friends and coworkers remember her as someone with bottomless empathy who always stood up for “the little guy.” She was a smiling face most especially for all her newest and youngest coworkers, and she is known in all the newsrooms where she worked for taking them under her wing and being a strong mentor for both work and life. Rescue animals were her passion, and if she wasn’t celebrating Fur Baby Friday, she’d be trying to find a new home for a cutie in need. If Ana found out you loved true crime, like she did, she would share the calendar she kept to track the releases of all the new episodes of the best podcasts. Her favorite was True Crime Obsessed, and if you spent longer than 5 minutes with Ana without hearing her favorite quote from it, “Let the women do the work,” then something was seriously wrong! She was a peanut-butter-M&M-loving, platform-Ugg-wearing, pink-or-purple-Stanley-toting ray of sunshine, even at 4:00 in the morning.

From the New York Post:

The Colorado native attended the University of Arizona before transferring to Texas A&M where she graduated in 2018 with a degree in journalism and double minor in communications and sports management.

Orsini’s first job in television was in Lubbock, Texas, as an anchor and reporter, then she spent three years as a morning and midday anchor in Medford, Oregon before she came to KOLD-TV in June of last year.

“Ana’s friends and coworkers remember her as someone with bottomless empathy who always stood up for ‘the little guy,’” the statement from News 13 continued. “She was a smiling face most especially for all her newest and youngest coworkers, and she is known in all the newsrooms where she worked for taking them under her wing and being a strong mentor for both work and life.”
