Ivana Trump Dies At 73
“Ivana Trump was a survivor. She fled from communism and embraced this country. She taught her children about grit, toughness, compassion, and determination,” the family said. “She will be dearly missed by her mother, her three children, and ten grandchildren.”
Eric Trump told reporters, “It’s been a very sad day,” as he left his mother’s apartment building on Thursday.
As reported by the FDNY, at around 12:30 on Thursday afternoon, paramedics in Manhattan responded to a call about a woman in cardiac arrest and found the 73-year-old resident of the Upper East Side apartment where Ivana Trump once resided. The NYPD reported that she was pronounced dead at the scene.
Reports from police say that Ivana Trump was discovered unresponsive at the bottom of her apartment’s stairs. According to the sources, the police are trying to determine if she fell and, if so if the fall played a role in her death. The police have said that a medical examiner will determine the woman’s cause of death.
The former president paid tribute to Ivana on his website, Truth Social, writing that she was “a wonderful, beautiful, and amazing woman, who led a great and inspirational life.”
Her three children—Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric—were “her pride and joy,” as he put it. We were all very proud of her, and she was very proud of them.
Ivanka Trump has spoken fondly of her mother, praising her as “brilliant, charming, passionate, and wickedly funny.”
“She lived life to the fullest — never forgoing an opportunity to laugh and dance,” Ivanka Trump said on Twitter while sharing a childhood photo of herself with her mother. “I will miss her forever and will keep her memory alive in our hearts always.”
Born Ivana Marie Zelnková, Ivana Trump experienced childhood in communist Czechoslovakia. After leaving in the 1970s, she met and wed Donald Trump in 1977.
She was a top executive in Trump’s company for many years. While helping to design the interiors of the Grand Hyatt and Trump Tower, she was promoted to the chief executive officer of Trump’s Castle, one of his Atlantic City hotel casinos. She has written a number of best-sellers and designed a successful clothing line.
“No matter how busy I was, I had breakfast with my children every day. I sat with them at dinner every night and helped them with their homework (I loved algebra) before going out in a Versace gown to a rubber-chicken charity event,” Ivana Trump wrote in her memoir, “Raising Trump.” “The kids and I celebrated, traveled, and grieved together. Our bond was and is our most valuable possession.”
