Maryanne Trump Barry, the older sister of former President Donald J. Trump, passed away at the age of 86 in her New York City apartment on November 13. She was found by first responders after a call about a cardiac arrest.
Maryanne had a long career as a judge, serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. She was appointed by President Ronald Reagan to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in 1983 and later by President Bill Clinton to the Court of Appeals in 1999. She retired from her position in 2019 after many years of service.
In recent times, Maryanne faced scrutiny over alleged fraudulent tax and financial dealings involving her father and siblings. The investigation ended inconclusively, prompting her retirement.
Her relationship with her brother Donald Trump remained unclear, though recordings by her niece, Mary, revealed concerns about his principles.
Maryanne’s passing marks the third sibling lost by Donald Trump. She dedicated her life to public service, leaving behind a legacy of commitment to justice and the legal system. Despite facing challenges, her strength and resilience shine through, as she remained steadfast to her principles even in adversity.
