Since there is no such thing as a "fraternal" grandmother-- the word fraternal refers to brothers-- you may be asking about his maternal (mother's side) or paternal (father's side) grandmother. Both of his grandmothers are deceased.

They are both deceased.

Ann (Barack Obama's Mother)

In 1994, Ann was diagnosed with Ovarian cancer and Uterine cancer; she moved back to Hawaii to live near her widowed mother. She died there in 1995 at the age of 52. Following a memorial service at the University of Hawaii, Barack and his half-sister, Maya, spread Ann's ashes in the Pacific Ocean on the south side of Ohau at Lanai lookout.

Barack Obama Sr. (Barack Obama's dad)

Obama Sr. lost both legs in an automobile collision, and subsequently lost his job. Obama Sr.'s life then took a tailspin into drinking and poverty, from which he never recovered. He died in 1982, at the age of 46, in a car crash in Nairobi. His friend, Kenyan journalist Philip Ochieng, has described Obama Sr.'s difficult personality and drinking problems in the Kenya newspaper The Nation.
Both his mother and father are no longer living.

Unfortunately, she died just before her grandson Barack was elected president. President Obama was especially saddened by her death, because she had helped to raise him.

No, she died just before President Obama won the election. It was very emotional for the president to have this happen, since by most accounts, it was his grandmother who raised him.
