Barry, a former federal judge in New Jersey, had been married to John Barry, a veteran trial and appellate lawyer. She retired from her position in 2019 amid several inquiries into the Trump family’s handling of alleged tax fraud and financial transactions.
The former president and his sister had been close. However, after their niece Mary L. Trump released a memoir about the family, including audio recordings of her aunt speaking critically of her brother, tensions rose between the two.
Ivana Trump, the former president’s first wife, and the mother to Donald Jr., Ivanka, and Eric passed away in 2022. Prior to this, Robert S. Trump, the younger brother of the former president passed away in 2020.
