It is with profound sadness that We Fortify is mourning the passing of Adrianna “Anna” Carmichael, the organisation’s Vice President of Strategy and Operations. Carmichael, who was associated with Colorado Springs, Colorado, was remembered as a valued colleague, leader and friend whose contributions left a lasting impression on those who worked alongside her.
News of Anna Carmichael’s death has prompted an outpouring of grief among members of the We Fortify community and others who knew her professionally and personally. Her passing represents a significant loss to an organisation that benefited from her leadership, strategic insight and dedication.
As Vice President of Strategy and Operations, Carmichael played an important role in helping guide We Fortify’s work. Her position required thoughtful leadership, strong organisational skills and a commitment to turning strategic priorities into meaningful action. Those qualities helped make her an important part of the organisation and earned her the respect of colleagues and partners.
Beyond her professional responsibilities, Anna was remembered for the personal qualities she brought to her work. Colleagues often value leaders not only for their expertise but also for the compassion, encouragement and sense of purpose they bring to a team. Carmichael’s legacy is reflected in the relationships she built and in the people she influenced during her time with We Fortify.
Her death has left colleagues facing the difficult reality of continuing their work without someone who had become an integral part of the organisation. For those who worked closely with her, the loss is likely to be felt not only in day-to-day operations but also in the absence of her presence, perspective and friendship.
The Colorado Springs community and those connected with We Fortify are now remembering Anna Carmichael and reflecting on the impact she made. Tributes following the news of her passing are expected to focus on her dedication, leadership and the difference she made in the lives of those around her.
At this time of mourning, thoughts are with Carmichael’s family, friends, colleagues and everyone who knew and loved her. Losing a colleague and friend can bring a profound sense of grief, particularly when that person played such an important role in a shared mission.

Adrianna “Anna” Carmichael will be remembered by the We Fortify community for her service, leadership and commitment. While her colleagues mourn her passing, the work and relationships she helped build remain part of the legacy she leaves behind.
