Robinson was born in 1937 and grew up on the South Side of Chicago, one of seven children, before studying to become a teacher.

Marian Robinson, the mother of former first lady Michelle Obama, who moved into the White House with the first family, helping care for her young granddaughters and providing a stabilizing presence in one of the world’s most stressful residences, died Friday, her family said.“We needed her. The girls needed her. And she ended up being our rock through it all,” her family said in a statement. Robinson was 86.

On election night in 2008, she was famously photographed holding her son-in-law Barack Obama’s hand while the two sat on a couch as results poured in, sweeping him into office as the nation’s first Black president.“At every step, as our families went down paths none of us could have predicted, she remained our refuge from the storm, keeping our feet on solid ground,” the statement read.
