Kylee Enwright's husband Paul made the announcement via social media on August 15, "with the greatest sadness and heaviest heart".
He said his wife died peacefully and surrounded by loved ones after suffering a second brain bleed that was "catastrophic and insurvivable".
"Until this point Kylee had been making amazing progress from her initial brain injury suffered in Thailand on May 28," he said.
Mr Enwright paid tribute to a "one-of-a-kind" wife, mother and mother-in-law, and grandmother.
"Kylee was one of the kindest, most generous people I have had the privilege to know," he said.
"Thanks to Kylee's selflessness and generosity, through organ donation there will be up to eight people that will receive a second chance at life and her spirit will live on a while longer through them.
The couple from Singleton in NSW's Hunter Valley, who have three children, flew to Thailand on May 27 for a two-week holiday near Phuket.
Mrs Enwright fell off a half-metre high balcony and hit her head on the ground after a few drinks on the first day of their holiday.
Their travel insurance company refused to cover her medical bills due to an alcohol clause in the policy.
A GoFundMe campaign that raised more than $200,000 helped bring Mrs Enwright home, with several seats removed from the plane to make space for her stretcher bed.
