PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Former first lady Melania Trump’s mother, Amalija Knavs, was memorialized during a funeral service at a church not far from the family’s Mar-a-Lago estate. Among the guests who arrived Thursday before the start of the private service for Knays at The Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea were two of former President Donald Trump’s children from previous marriages, Tiffany Trump and Ivanka Trump and Ivanka Trump’s husband, Jared Kushner. Knavs died Jan. 9 in Miami after an undisclosed illness. During the Trump presidency, the first lady’s mother lived in New York along with her father, Viktor Knavs, and occasionally appeared at the White House.
