We regret to inform you of the passing of former First Lady Melania Trump’s mother, Amalija Knavs. Amalija was a powerful woman who always exuded dignity, warmth, and grace. She gave her husband, daughters, grandson, and son-in-law her whole attention. We will always respect and cherish her legacy, and we will miss her terribly.

Melania Trump conveyed her deep sorrow over her mother’s passing in a heartfelt statement. She characterized Amalija as a remarkable woman who was strong, kind, and warm.

Melania reflected on the close relationship between her mother and her son, Barron, revealing that Amalija played a major role in her grandson’s upbringing after moving to the United States from Slovenia. Melania emphasized their special bond by stating, “Once Barron was born, he was her focus.”

The Trump family has had a difficult time dealing with the loss. “Thank you to everybody who wrote me, who thought about me and my family and was really deeply appreciated,” Melania said in response to the condolence messages. She recognized that grief comes in waves and underlined how crucial it is to find inner peace in order to get through it.
