Marion Pouw, 72, died near the Scientology city of Clearwater where she spent much of her life dedicated to the controversial religion and its leader, David Miscavige.
Former friends - who say they were cut off from her after they left the church - revealed she had died from pancreatic cancer.
Pouw was said to be Miscavige's right-hand woman, with some former Scientologists branding her his 'henchman', while another said she was one of his 'closest lieutenants'.
A never-before-seen picture exclusively given to Daily Mail Australia reveals Pouw at her first wedding, with Miscavige's wife, Shelly, one of her bridesmaids.
Ms Miscavige inexplicably vanished 18 years ago and has never been found.
A death notice listed by Tampa funeral home Brewer & Sons shared that Ms Pouw was born on February 7, 1953, and died on June 20, 2025.
The listing has since been mysteriously deleted, but still appears online in a Google search.
An obituary on US website Echovita revealed that Ms Pouw died in Clermont, Florida, just a stone's throw from Scientology's Clearwater headquarters.
