"I say to the women out there, remember how difficult it was for women like Justice O'Connor starting out. Even though she graduated with top grades, she had to take a job as a legal secretary. Remember how far we have come."
In 1982, Maryanne married New Jersey lawyer John Joseph Barry, who died in 2000. She has one son from her first union with New York psychologist David William Desmond.

ALLEGATIONS OF TAX EVASION
The New York Times published an investigative report in 2018 stating that Fred and his children had engaged in fraudulent and illegal activity to limit estate tax and gift tax liability originating from Fred's real estate enterprises.
As a result of the investigative report, the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance started a review of the fraud accusations against Fred's children.
