A TV news station in Tucson, Arizona, is mourning the sudden death of one of its young anchors.
KOLD 13 News announced 28-year-old Ana Orsini unexpectedly died last week from a brain aneurysm.
Dan Marries, an evening anchor at KOLD 13 News, expressed on Facebook that Ana Orsini was truly unique and exceptional. She was extremely intelligent, had a deep understanding of things at a young age, and was caring, witty, and had a strong affection for animals.
“Our thoughts and prayers are with the Orsini family during this incredibly tragic time. As a parent, I can’t even begin to imagine their pain and anguish with the sudden, unexpected, and tragic loss of Ana,” Marries added. “Her positive impact on those around her will last a lifetime. Ana, you are, and will, be missed so much.”
The staff at 13 News said her family wants Orsini “to be remembered for the bright, sunny person she was.”
“To know Ana was to LOVE her,” Carsyn Currier, a co-anchor of Orsini’s wrote in post on Instagram.
“She made everyone around her feel so special, heard and understood. Waking up in the middle of the night to go to work is always challenging, but knowing I was going to work with Ana made it that much easier.
