Obama's Grandmother Remembered

Just days before Christmas, President-elect Barack Obama was in Hawaii remembering the grandmother who helped raise him and died only two days before her grandson was elected the first ever African-American President.

Madelyn Payne Dunham was 86 when she passed away.

Obama was surrounded by family members at a ceremony at the First Unitarian Church in Nuuanu.

After the ceremony, Obama and family drove to cliffs east of Hononulu, where they scattered Dunham’s ashes at Lanai Lookout.

Earlier this year Obama laid flowers at the same location in memory of his late mother.
