Marian Robinson, the mother of Michelle Obama, passed away peacefully at the age of 86. The former First Lady and her husband, Barack Obama, expressed their grief and uncertainty on social media as they mourn the loss of their beloved grandmother.
Marian played a significant role in the Obama family and was a constant pillar of support for her granddaughters, Malia and Sasha. Despite her simple and modest nature, she was known for her love of family, music, and simple pleasures like spending time with her granddaughters and watching television.
Marian’s journey to the White House during Barack Obama’s presidency was marked by trips to Las Vegas, dinners with friends, and cherished moments spent surrounded by loved ones. She eventually joined her family in Washington DC where she became a beloved figure in the capital. Her meeting with Pope Francis and trip to Buenos Aires added memorable experiences to her life before returning to Chicago in her final years.
Michelle announced that the Obama Presidential Center exhibition would be named in honor of Marian Robinson’s legacy as a loving grandmother who dedicated herself to supporting her family through thick and thin. While they mourn her passing, Michelle finds solace in knowing that Marian is reunited with Craig Robinson in a place of peace and joy.
