Sarah Obama, former president's step-grandmother, dead in Kenya hospital

Former President Barack Obama's step-grandmother died at around 4 a.m. local time in Kenya's third largest city, Kisumu, on Monday.

Known as the family's matriarch, Sarah Obama was at least 99 years old and promoted education for girls and orphans in her rural Kogelo village.

Relatives and officials confirmed her death on Monday. According to a family spokesman, the former president had been informed of the death and has sent his condolences.

The former president also tweeted a tribute, saying his family was mourning her loss. "My family and I are mourning the loss of our beloved grandmother, Sarah Ogwel Onyango Obama, affectionately known to many as 'Mama Sarah' but known to us as 'Dani' or Granny," he said.

"We will miss her dearly, but we’ll celebrate with gratitude her long and remarkable life."

Her foundation, The Mama Sara Obama Foundation helped provide food and education to children who lost their parents — providing school supplies, uniforms, basic medical needs, and school fees. The United Nations honored her in 2014 with the inaugural Women’s Entrepreneurship Day Education Pioneer Award.
