Obama Family Mourns the Loss of Marian Robinson
Marian Robinson, beloved mother of Michelle Obama and grandmother to Malia and Sasha, has passed away peacefully at age 86. A woman of quiet strength and deep grace, she was a constant in the Obama family’s life — even moving into the White House to help raise her granddaughters during Barack Obama’s presidency.
Born and raised on Chicago’s South Side, Marian was a pillar of love, wisdom, and humility. Michelle called her “my rock,” while President Obama, seen tearfully honoring her legacy, praised her as a grounding force in their lives.
Though she avoided the spotlight, her impact was immeasurable. Marian Robinson will be remembered not just as a devoted mother and grandmother, but as a symbol of dignity, resilience, and unconditional love.
