KOLD-TV in Arizona is currently in shock and mourning after the unexpected death of one of their beloved team members, Ana Orsini.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Life is fragile, and sometimes everything can change in an instant. Ana Orsini, the young and beloved news anchor at KOLD-TV, is no longer with us.<\/p>\n

The 28-year-old Arizona news anchor died from a brain aneurysm, as confirmed by her colleague, KOLD-TV anchor Tyler Butler, on Facebook on Tuesday, December 17. A\u00a0brain aneurysm\u00a0occurs when a blood vessel in the brain weakens and bulges, potentially rupturing, which can lead to severe, often life-threatening consequences.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Symptoms may include sudden, intense headaches, nausea, blurred vision, and even loss of consciousness. If untreated, a ruptured aneurysm can cause strokes, brain damage, or death, making early detection and medical intervention crucial.<\/p>\n

Known for her love of peanut butter M&Ms and platform Uggs, Ana passed away unexpectedly last week.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so horrible, so sudden,\u201d wrote Tyler Butler, also a KOLD-TV anchor, on\u00a0Facebook.<\/p>\n

\u201cAna was a force of nature. I keep thinking about how at times, I\u2019d make a self-deprecating joke and she\u2019d snap, \u2018Hey! Don\u2019t talk about my friend like that!\u2019 Her genuine care for everyone around her will be missed,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Raised in Denver<\/h2>\n

Ana Orsini began her journalistic career at a news station in Lubbock, Texas. Born and raised in Denver, Colorado, she made the move from the mountains to the plains, graduating from Texas A&M University in 2018.<\/p>\n

She spent three years as a morning and midday anchor in Medford, Oregon, covering everything from major wildfires to helping shelter pets find their forever homes.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

At KOLD-TV, she was known for her \u201cbottomless empathy\u201d and for always standing up for \u201cthe little guy.\u201d She was passionate about animal rescue and loved listening to true crime podcasts.<\/p>\n

The news of her death was first reported by her colleagues at the CBS affiliate in Tucson on Monday, December 16.<\/p>\n

\u201dSad news to share with you, our beloved friend and co-anchor Ana Orsini passed away unexpectedly last week,\u201d Tyler Butler and Carsyn Currier, announced her passing during an emotional broadcast.<\/p>\n

\u201dAna has been here at 13 News since June of 2023, and we are devastated by this loss,\u201d co-anchor Carsyn Currier said, with her voice breaking.<\/p>\n

\u201dShe was unlike anyone I\u2019ve ever met\u201d<\/h2>\n

Those who knew Ana are mourning her loss, including Butler and Currier.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was truly one of a kind,\u201d Butler wrote on Facebook. \u201cCrazy passionate about helping animals, she had a great and sarcastic sense of humor and was so dedicated to her family. She LOVED her family and talked about them all the time. I\u2019m glad to have been a small part of her work family.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

On\u00a0Instagram, Currier recalled Ana as a friend who made it so much easier to wake up in the middle of the night for their early morning shifts.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Happy Sunday, friends!\u00a0\u2764\ufe0f\u00a0what are y\u2019all doing today? Can\u2019t wait to see all of you bright and early tomorrow morning!\u00a0\u2600\ufe0f<\/p>\n

Posted by\u00a0Ana Orsini TV\u00a0on\u00a0Sunday, September 24, 2023<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n

\u201cAna was not only beautiful, talented, and hilarious, but she was unlike anyone I\u2019ve ever met,\u201d Currier wrote alongside a series of photos of the two anchors. \u201cTo know Ana was to LOVE her. She made everyone around her feel so special, heard, and understood.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was a proud daughter, sister, and the best dog mom to her baby boy, Harley,\u201d Currier added. \u201cRest in peace, sister. I promise to keep living fully for YOU.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201dThere are special people who come into our lives that will have an everlasting impact, and Ana Orsini was one of them,\u201d anchor Dan Marries\u00a0wrote\u00a0in an emotional tribute to his co-worker. \u201dAna, you were one in a trillion; wise beyond your years, full of practical insight, smart, compassionate, quick-witted, and possessed a contagious love for animals, especially dogs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rest in peace, Ana. Condolences to the family.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
