Hearts are heavy as Michelle Obama announced the passing of her beloved mother, Marian Robinson, at 86.
A cherished pillar of the Obama family, Marian’s legacy of love and wisdom touched many. Michelle shared her grief on social media, calling her mother the cornerstone of her life and a source of unwavering support.
Marian’s wisdom, captured in sayings like “Don’t sweat the small stuff” and “Know what’s truly precious,” guided her family.
During the Obamas’ time in the White House, she was a steady presence, moving in to care for her grandchildren, Malia and Sasha, and often playfully siding with them over their parents.
Marian passed away peacefully on May 31, leaving a void in the lives of her family. Her enduring love and wisdom will continue to inspire all who knew her.
