Ivana Trump was an incredible woman who left a lasting impact on everyone she met. When she passed away in her home of 28 years on July 14, 2022, many people were heartbroken. Her family, friends, and fans around the world mourned her loss.

A few days after her passing, her eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., was the last of her children to pay tribute to her. He posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, along with a series of photos showing different moments of her life.

Donald shared that his mother always pushed her children to be their best. She was strict and didn’t let them get away with anything but also had a great sense of humor. He credited her for shaping him into the person he is today and expressed how much he loved her. Many fans and friends sent kind words in response, including Kimberly Guilfoyle, who called Ivana “one of a kind.”

Ivana was found in her home at 73 years old. One of her employees discovered her on the staircase and realized she was not breathing. Authorities were informed, and soon the news spread worldwide. People were shocked and saddened by the loss of such a remarkable woman.

Her ex-husband, former President Donald Trump, shared a statement describing Ivana as an incredible woman who lived an amazing life and was proud of her three children.

Shortly after her passing, Ivana’s son Eric was seen outside her townhouse with his wife, Lara. When he spoke to photographers, he simply said, “It’s a very sad day.” While her family grieved, tributes poured in from people all over the world.

Ivana’s family was devastated by her passing, but so were her friends, neighbors, and fans. Many shared details about her final days and the impact she had on their lives.

One of those deeply affected was Zach Erdem, who first met Ivana when he was a busboy at a restaurant. Over time, he became a successful business owner, running a popular restaurant in The Hamptons. Despite meeting many celebrities, Ivana remained special to him.

Their friendship began in 2003, but they became close in 2010 when he opened his restaurant, 75 on Main. Ivana was one of his first customers. She asked him to sit with her, and they talked for a long time before exchanging phone numbers and staying in touch.

Erdem admired Ivana not only for her business skills but also for her kindness. He recalled how she always supported charities and helped people in need, regardless of politics or religion.

Another tribute came from Ivana’s neighbor, Broadway producer Judith Ann Abrams, who described Ivana’s passing as “the end of an era.” She remembered her as a kind and friendly person who would be missed dearly.

Erdem shared that Ivana’s death was hard for him. She had seen him grow in his career and always wished him success. He had been looking forward to seeing her again, but sadly, she passed away before that could happen.

While her passing shocked many, Ivana had been dealing with health issues before she died. She didn’t like discussing them, so when Erdem spoke to her, he always focused on positive topics. He told her he loved and missed her whenever they talked.

Ivana had planned to travel to Europe and The Hamptons during the summer. At first, she told Erdem she might not make it to The Hamptons, but later, she changed her mind. She called him and said she wanted to surprise him by visiting when she felt better. Unfortunately, she never got the chance.

When Erdem heard about her passing, he was in shock. He was drinking coffee when he received the news and was so stunned that he dropped the coffee on his shirt and started crying.

Now that some time has passed, more details about Ivana’s death have been shared. Erdem believes that if circumstances had been different, she could have been saved. He said that if someone had been with her when she fell or if her assistant had arrived earlier, she might still be alive.

“If someone had been there, she may not have died. She would be alive right now,” he said.

The day after her passing, the cause of death was confirmed. She had fallen down the stairs and suffered blunt force injuries to her torso, which ultimately led to her passing. The autopsy was completed the day after her death.

Ivana’s funeral took place on July 20, 2022, in the Upper East Side neighborhood where she had lived for many years.

Since her passing, many people have shared touching tributes about her. Friends, fans, and family members have spoken about the impact she had on their lives. It is clear that Ivana Trump left behind a lasting legacy.

Rest in peace, Ivana.
