Mrs. Edna Ibru (nee Park), ex-Miss Nigeria and former First Lady of Delta State, passed away on Wednesday in a London hospital after a brief illness.
She was the first Nigerian/African to represent Nigeria at Miss Universe and had two children with her husband, Olorogun Felix Ibru, the first civilian Governor of Delta State from 1991 to 1992.
The Ibru family of Agbarha-Otor Kingdom in Delta State announced the former first lady’s death in a statement released by her son, Dr Paul Ibru, copies of which were distributed to journalists in Warri on Saturday.
“Our amazing mother passed into glory on Wednesday 15, January 2025 after a brief illness”, the statement partly read.
It continued, “Until her death, she was full of life and we never expected her to leave us so soon but we cannot question the will of God in her precious life.
“She was a lover of people, a mediator, a mother to many, outrageously humorous, deeply caring, down to earth, full of stories all of the time, and we will miss her very dearly.”
