Marian Robinson played an important role in her family\u2019s life, particularly during her daughter Michelle\u2019s time in the White House.\n</p><p>In her early adulthood, Marian married Fraser Robinson III, a World War II veteran who worked as a pump operator for the Chicago Water Department. The couple settled into a modest home in the South Side of Chicago and had two children, Craig and Michelle. Fraser\u2019s job, while stable, required long hours, which left Marian to manage the household and care for their children. She instilled in them the importance of integrity, education, and perseverance.\n</p><div class='\"code-block' code-block-9>\n<div data-cptid='\"1539520_timelesslife.info_300x250_Carpet\"'>\n\n<p>The family talked about the way Mrs. Robinson watched her parents deal with the limitations of racial segregation. Her father, Purnell Shields, could not be in a union or work for certain construction outfits due to his skin color.\n</p><p>Marian Robinson lived in the White House during Barack Obama\u2019s presidency in order to help support the First Family, especially with her granddaughters. She was praised for providing a sense of normalcy and stability for Malia and Sasha during their formative years in the public eye. Marian was often seen as a grounding force in the Obama family, maintaining a low profile despite the high visibility of her daughter and son-in-law.\n</p><div class='\"code-block' code-block-8>\n<p>&nbsp;\n</p><div>\n<p>&nbsp;\n\n</p><p>After the White House in early 2017, Michelle\u2019s Mother spent her final years living in Chicago.\n</p><h1><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"alignnone' wp-image-54376 size-full src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/02%5C/Screenshot_157-e1739151141253-1.webp%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"917\"' height='\"480\"' title='\"\"'>\n</h1><p>&nbsp;\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"</p><p>Michelle Obama\u2019s Mom has passed away according to reports by family members.
