It is with heavy hearts that we send our thoughts and prayers to the Obama family during this difficult time. On Friday morning, Maria Robinson, the mother of Michelle Obama, peacefully раssеd аwау at the age of 86. Her presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

Maria Robinson was not just a mother but a pillar of strength and support for her family. She was always there for them, offering her unwavering love and nonjudgmental support. No matter how far they had ventured, she welcomed them back home with open arms.

When her son-in-law, Barack Obama, won the presidency in 2008, Maria Robinson became known as the first grandmother of the United States. Michelle Obama herself described her mother as a rock, always there for her no matter the circumstances. Maria’s steady presence brought comfort and stability to their entire family.

During the Obama administration, Maria Robinson was a familiar face in the White House. Although she didn’t seek the spotlight, she attended holiday events and concerts in the East Room while also enjoying quality time with her granddaughters, Sasha and Malia.

The family’s statement beautifully captures the void left by Maria’s passing. They expressed how much they would miss her and the wisdom she shаrеd. They found solace in the belief that she is now reunited with her beloved husband, Fraser, in a place of eternal peace.

Maria Robinson was a cherished figure in Chicago, her hometown, where she lived her entire life. Yet, when her grandchildren needed her in Washington, D.C., she readily moved to the White House in 2009. In this new role as a grandmother, she embraced the opportunity to shower Malia and Sasha with love, just as she did with her other grandchildren.
