"Fred Trump and his wife forbade their children from cursing"

Seems that's good and many parents today fail to admonish their children from cursing.

"Their mother, Mary, a Scottish immigrant, relished attention, thrusting herself to the center of social gatherings. She also loved pageantry, spending hours watching on television the 1953 coronation of Queen Elizabeth. "

She immigrated in 1930 and became a U.S. citizen in 1942. As the wife of real estate developer Fred Trump she raised five children and engaged in philanthropic activities in the New York area.


Mary MacLeod lived with her older sister Christina Matheson on Long Island and worked as a domestic servant for at least four years.
One of these jobs appears to have been as a nanny for a well-to-do family in a New York suburb, but the position was eliminated due to economic difficulties caused by the Great Depression. As one account has put it, she "started life in America as a dirt-poor servant escaping the even worse poverty of her native land."

NOTE: Doesn't appear that she had much time to sit around watching the tv.

She also acted as a volunteer in a hospital and was involved in schools activities and in charities.

Those causes included betterment of those with cerebral palsy and efforts to improve the lives of intellectually disabled adults.

The Trumps were active in the Salvation Army, the Boy Scouts of America, and the Lighthouse for the Blind, among other charities.

She had a significant role at the Women's Auxiliary of Jamaica Hospital and likewise at the Jamaica Day Nursery. She and her husband donated time, effort, to services and to several buildings of the medical nature around New York.
Moreover, a 228-bed nursing home pavilion at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center, where she spent years volunteering, is named solely for her. She also belonged to several social clubs.
