Donald B. Marron, a prominent financier with decades of executive leadership and a major figure in the New York art world, died on Friday in Manhattan. Catherine Marron, his wife, said he had been en route to a colleague’s holiday cocktail party and was getting out of a car when he had what appeared to be a heart attack. Ms. Marron said he had only planned to stop by the event for 30 minutes before returning to his home on the Upper East Side to watch a movie with his family. A lifelong resident of New York City, Mr. Marron was educated in city public schools and attended Baruch College in Manhattan but did not complete a higher degree, Ms. Marron said.
