Maryanne Trump Barry, the older sister of former President Donald Trump, was discovered in her Upper East Side Manhattan home on Monday morning, according to sources close to the situation. Barry, who served as a federal judge in New Jersey, was 86 years old. She was married to John Barry, a distinguished trial and appellate lawyer.
Barry had a notable career in the judiciary, appointed by President Ronald Reagan to the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey in 1983 and later elevated to the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit by President Bill Clinton in 1999. She was known for her keen legal mind and dedication to public service, handling several high-profile cases during her tenure.
Barry retired from the bench in 2011, but her legacy in the legal community remained significant. She was also known for her philanthropic efforts, supporting various charitable causes throughout her life. Her death marks the end of an era for the Trump family and the legal community she served so diligently.
