Melania Trump, most noted as Donald Trump's second wife, has died. She was 38. Mrs. Trump died instantly in a car accident on I-95 on July 8 when another driver lost control of his vehicle on the wet road and slammed into the side of Mrs. Trump's chauffeured car.
"Melania was a great wife, and a phenomenal mother," Donald Trump said gravely on Friday. "I loved her a lot and I will miss her a lot."
Mrs. Trump was born Melanija Knavs (which she later anglicized to Melania Knauss) on April 26, 1970 in Slovenia. She spent her early years engrossed in school because her parents were firm believers in education as a means of success. She learnt four languages, including English, and received a degree in design and architecture at the University of Slovenia, but chose to pursue modelling instead.
At 18, she signed with an agency in Italy, and in 1996 she moved to New York. She has worked with photographers such as Patrick Demarchelier, Helmut Newton and Arthur Elgort. She has also been featured on the covers of Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, British GQ, In Style and New York Magazine, as well as major layouts in Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, Allure, Glamour and Vanity Fair.
Mrs. Trump soon met Donald Trump at a fashion gala, and the two started dating in 1999. They got engaged in 2004 and were married at Bethesda by the Sea Episcopal Church in Palm Beach on January 22, 2005. On March 20, 2006, she gave birth to her first child (Trump's fifth), whom the couple named Barron William Trump.
After moving to New York, Mrs. Trump spent most of her time involved in cultural activities. Her achievements include Honorary Chairwoman for Martha Graham Dance Company in April 2005, and the Police Athletic League's Woman of the Year in 2006 (she was also an active member). She was the Honorary Chairwoman for the Boy's Club of New York for five years, and the American Red Cross Goodwill Ambassador for three years.
Mrs. Trump is survived by her parents, her husband, her son, Barron, and her step-children.
A memorial service will be held on July 16 at The Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City.

Hey denise are you sure, about this entry. how come nowhere on the web or even in the news we heard anything about this. i was minding my business trying to get some help on how to prepare the escoveitch fish and found your entry. i was about to leave the entry when i noticed the name trump and clicked to open the article, are you sure. i'm thinking you are not crazy cause your info is pretyy detailed. did you know them personally or did someone in the traffic medical or some relation to the accident reporting know you. i am so shocked. i have been searching all night since I found this entry and can find nothing, i mean nothing about her death anywhere. i think Donald is probably in a bad state of shock. not even Wikipedia has updated her info and they are notmally on point with their entries. This is so sad. I was thinking maybe I was so caught up in the election news that this one missed me, but the web has nothing. I can't believe the donald is that powerful. i guess his people are very protective of him, cause they have locked this one down, i'm surprised your entry has not been taken off as yet.
