Recall that Robinson passed away on Friday at the age of 86.
In a heartfelt message shared on X, Michelle Obama expressed that her mother had always been a constant source of support for their entire family.
In a statement, the family acknowledged that the deceased’s wisdom seemed almost innate, as if it were a natural part of her being.
However, they emphasized that her wisdom was acquired through years of experience and a deep understanding that even the harshest challenges in life could be overcome with grace
Marian Lois Shields, born and raised in the South Side of Chicago, pursued a career in teaching before working as a secretary.

During an interview on “Good Morning America” with Robin Roberts in 2022, Michelle Obama and Robinson spoke about their unbreakable bond and the strength they derived from each other.
According to the family, Robinson was incredibly supportive of her daughter’s decision to marry a man who ventured into politics despite its challenges.
“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.
