Remembering the Trump Family: A Look Back at the Lives of Maryanne, Freddy Jr., Elizabeth, and Robert
As the eldest of Fred Sr. and Mary Trump’s five children, Maryanne Trump Barry led a remarkable life. Born in 1937, she pursued a career in law and was married twice. Her first marriage to David Desmond lasted from 1960 to 1980, and she later married John Joseph Barry in 1982 until his passing in 2000. Sadly, Maryanne passed away at her New York City home on November 13, 2023, at the age of 86.
Tragedy struck the Trump family with the loss of Frederick Christ “Freddy” Trump Jr., the eldest son, in 1981. Freddy, born in 1938, was expected to take over the family’s real estate business but succumbed to alcoholism, leading to a fatal heart attack.
Elizabeth Trump Grau, Donald’s other sister, found love with producer James Grau, whom she married in March 1989. Despite her family’s high-profile status, Elizabeth has opted to lead a more private life away from the media spotlight.
Robert Stewart Trump, born in 1948, also played a role in the family business after a successful career on Wall Street. However, on August 15, 2020, Robert passed away at the age of 71 after battling various health issues that led to multiple hospitalizations.
The Trump family tree has seen its share of triumphs and tragedies, with each member leaving behind a unique legacy that will be remembered for years to come.
