12:15 p.m. - Obama to Attend Grandmother's Memorial Service in Hawaii

A memorial service next month for Barack Obama's grandmother will be attended by the president-elect and his family in Honolulu.

Madelyn Dunham died just two days before the election at the age of 86.

Obama flew to Hawaii in the final days of his presidential campaign to see her before she died.

The service is expected to be small, private and low key, according to Dunham's wishes.

I thought I'd read that she turned 87 in late October.
