Maryanne Trump Barry was the eldest of Fred Sr. and Mary’s five children. Born in 1937, she became a lawyer later in life and was married twice: to David Desmond from 1960 to 1980 and to John Joseph Barry from 1982 until his death in 2000.

She passed away at her New York City Home on November 13, 2023. She was 86.

The eldest son in the family, Frederick Christ “Freddy” Trump Jr., was born in 1938. He was expected to take over Fred Sr.’s real estate business, but his alcoholism caused his fatal heart attack in September 1981.

Donald’s other sister, Elizabeth Trump Grau, married producer James Grau in March 1989. Although her family has often appeared in the headlines, Elizabeth has maintained a relatively private life.

In 1948, the family welcomed Robert Stewart Trump. He joined their real estate business after a career on Wall Street.

Robert died on August 15, 2020, at the age of 71, following several hospitalizations.
