"I am very saddened to inform all of those that loved her, of which there are many, that Ivana Trump has passed away at her home in New York City.

"My mother is an exuberant woman, filled with a passion for life and adventure that made it hard for her to stay in one place for long," Ivanka Trump wrote in her 2009 book, "The Trump Card." "My parents are strikingly similar in that regard. They've grown apart, and even when they were together they seemed to be cut in different ways, but they do share an approach to life: all out, all the time."
After the divorce, Ivana Trump married and divorced twice more while maintaining a jet-setting, globetrotting lifestyle.
In 2017, she told "CBS Sunday Morning" she to be the ambassador to her native Czech Republic, citing her "freedom" and "perfect life."
"I was just offered to be the American ambassador to Czech Republic -- and Donald told me. He said, 'Ivana, if you want it, I give it to you,'" Trump said in the interview. "But I like my freedom. I like to do what I want to do, go wherever I want to go with whomever I want to go. And I can afford my lifestyle."
"OK, why would I go and say bye-bye to Miami in the winter, bye-bye to Saint-Tropez in the summer and bye-bye to spring and fall in New York?" she continued. "I have a perfect life."
