The grandmother of former President Obama died in Kenya over the weekend, the family has confirmed.
Sarah Obama, who married former President Obama's grandfather and helped raise his father, passed away at the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral hospital, The Associated Press reported.
She was at least 99 years old.
In a statement, Marsat Onyango said the former first family has been informed and has sent their condolences. A family spokesperson said Sarah Obama was sick with an illness but did not die of the coronavirus.
Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta called Sarah Obama's passing "a big blow to our nation."
"We've lost a strong, virtuous woman, a matriarch who held together the Obama family and was an icon of family values," Kenyatta said, according to the AP.
Sarah Obama worked for years to enhance education for children in the poor nation.
The family said she will be buried this week.
I believe that she was the one who said Obama was born in Kenya.
Hakuna matata
Gaddafi said that Barack Obama was a muslim
Had me a little excited for a second. I usually just scan stuff so what I saw was Obama dies.
That is certainly not clear from the wiki hagiography
Polygamy is considered unacceptable only when practiced by straight white people. For Africans, polite people consider it a charming indigenous practice that contributes to global diversity.
Wonder if he was present in KENYA for Obummers birth like the grandma said she was...
Obama's REAL father is Mohammed SUBUD, an INDONESIAN Muslim.
Good riddance, FAKE grandma.
Mohammed was cool with it.
And Mr. Obama gave himself a madeup name. He was born a Catholic but he changed his name when he went muslim and his clan was born into it.
Mohammed Subud
She was the mother of the kenyan student who impregnated a fellow student from Equatorial Guinea who called herself Anna Obama when she rented a room at the rented house in Honolulu where the Dunhams lived.
How about this:

And Barak’s mil made well over $100,000/yr as “baby sitter” for the two girls.
This was mother of Barak’s dad. She was with his “wife” when she was pregnant and began going into labor, and went with her to the hospital where Barak was born.
His enrollment card for 4th grade in Indonesia showed his religion was Islam.
What did she know about Obama and when? Took much of it to the grave with her.
Should have taken your grandson with you
I’m sure Barry and Big Mike will rush to the funeral. 🙄
