According to her wiki page, she was in hospice care for cancer. Not seeing that reported anywhere else though. > **[Maryanne Trump Barry](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryanne_Trump_Barry)** > > Maryanne Trump Barry (April 5, 1937 – November 13, 2023) was an American attorney and United States federal judge.

That seems incredibly relevant. You would think the bios would all have been written already, and that would have been included. ---

Hunter Biden had her killed because of the information she was about to divulge. No, I don’t believe that, but when the Republicans start spouting that theory I want to come back here and say “First!” ---

I thought the same thing - but when I checked, it turned out that Maryanne (sister) had been critical in some conversations recorded by Mary (niece) ---

I am not. Maryanne was recorded privately absolutely roasting him. ---

Can you imagine a life with eight decades of accomplishments, only to have the first things said about you relate to your annoying little brother? I mean, I’m the same; it’s just a sad state of affairs. So here’s to someone who grew up in the toxic Trump family but became better. (Though I do also hope it makes DJT contemplate his own mortality for a moment.) ---

I wonder where she is going to be buried. Which of Trump’s properties is next in line for a cemetery tax break? ---

Though reading her obituary on the BBC, maybe not tons better — apparently leveraged the judgeship through connections, and was a Republican, and did work with DJT, while keeping her objections quiet until exposed by the niece. ---

Maryanne Barry sounds a lot like Marion Berry when said out loud. And while she may have had private feelings of disgust for Donald, she never said anything publically. ---

Well, if she was a good person at least she’ll never see him again, and if not they’ll be very close. In the special area set aside for the family?
