Notes for Stanley Ann Dunham

!Ann filed for divorce in Honolulu in January 1964. Obama Sr. did not contest, and the divorce was granted. Ann graduated from the University of Hawaii in 1967 with a bachelor's degree.[1] Obama Sr. received a Masters degree (MA) in economics from Harvard in 1965[27] and only saw his son again once, in 1971, when Barack was ten years old.

!Dunham met an Indonesian student, Lolo Soetoro (ca. 1936–1987), at the East-West Center on the University of Hawaii campus. They married in 1966 or 1967 and moved with six-year-old Barack to Jakarta, Indonesia, (after the unrest surrounding the ascent of Suharto), where Soetoro worked as a government relations consultant with Mobil Corporation, the US-based international petroleum company.

!Died of ovarian cancer about 1995.
