A tragedy has struck the family of former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama.
Michelle Obama’s mother, Marian Robinson, has died at the age of 86, reports said. Michelle made the announcement Friday via a joint Instagram post with her husband, informing followers that Robinson “passed peacefully this morning.”
“My mom Marian Robinson was my rock, always there for whatever I needed. She was the same steady backstop for our entire family, and we are heartbroken to share she passed away today,” the post said.
Adding several slides to the post, the couple wrote, “We wanted to offer some reflections on her remarkable life.”
