 == 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.  '''''' "
