Marian Robinson, Michelle Obama’s mother and the steady heart of the Obama family, has passed away at 86.
Michelle called her “my rock,” while Barack remembered her as “one of a kind,” a woman whose love and strength shaped their lives.
Born in Chicago in 1937, Marian raised her children with resilience and later moved into the White House to help care for her granddaughters. She never sought attention, but her quiet influence left a lasting mark.
Her legacy lives on in the values she instilled—family, humility, and love above all.
