In May 2024, the Obama family lost Marian Robinson, Michelle Obama’s mother, at age 86. Marian had been a steady source of strength and support, even living in the White House to help care for her granddaughters during Barack Obama’s presidency.
Known for her wisdom, resilience, and calming presence, her passing was deeply felt by the family. Michelle Obama honored her mother’s ability to inspire a sense of contentment and “enoughness.” Marian’s legacy of love and guidance continues to touch the Obama family and those who knew her.
