It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Maryanne Trump Barry, the esteemed older sister of former President Donald J. Trump. Maryanne, who was 86 years old at the time of her death, left us with a great sense of loss.
Maryanne was discovered in her New York City apartment on November 13. Authorities were alerted after receiving a call about someone experiencing cardiac arrest. First responders rushed to her 5th Avenue apartment but unfortunately, it was too late.
During her remarkable career, Maryanne served as a senior judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. With dedication and passion, she devoted many years to the legal system. Maryanne’s journey began in 1983 when President Ronald Reagan appointed her to the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. Later on, in 1999, President Bill Clinton appointed her to the Court of Appeals.
Maryanne’s contributions to the legal system were invaluable. Her expertise and commitment to justice were evident throughout her tenure. Her appointment by two different presidents showcased her ability to serve the nation with integrity and unwavering dedication.
In recent years, Maryanne faced challenges as she found herself entangled in an investigation involving alleged fraudulent tax and financial transactions within her family. Although the investigation did not reach a conclusive end, it led Maryanne to make the difficult decision to retire from her position.
While the details of Maryanne’s relationship with her younger brother, Donald, remain unclear, it is worth noting that she expressed concerns about his lack of principles, as recorded by her niece, Mary. Regardless of any personal differences, her passing is a significant loss for the Trump family.
Maryanne Trump Barry will always be remembered as a formidable figure in the legal community. Her commitment to upholding justice and her contributions to the justice system will echo throughout history. Her legacy is one of strength and resilience as she faced adversity with grace and remained steadfast in her principles.
As we mourn the loss of Maryanne Trump Barry, let us also take a moment to celebrate her life and the impact she made. Her memory serves as a reminder of the importance of embracing justice and working towards a brighter future. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Trump family during this difficult time.
