Albert and Barney The text says Albert and Barney had died This is wrong She definitely divorced Albert There s an episode where Albert has died and Maude must go spread his ashes over a lake She says they married on his birthday so he wouldn t forget their anniversary then she tears up recalling but I could only stand him for nine months I think she divorced Barney also then he had later died but it s possible she was widowed It s also possible that the show was inconsistent
