Marian Robinson, mother of Michelle Obama and President Barack Obama's mother-in-law, passed away on Friday at the age of 86, according to the family.
Michelle Obama said in a post on X that her mother "was the same steady backstop for our entire family." "Way back, you would have a little kitchen table...folks would come over...and you had with your children. PB and J, wasn't it, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches?" When the Obamas moved into the White House, Robinson agreed to move in after "a healthy nudge," to help raise the first couple's girls.The family noted that Robinson tended to prefer to stay upstairs and not hobnob with the guests that frequented the White House, with one exception: Pope Francis.
