On Sunday, she attended another but this time for her half-sister, Patricia. In a 2011 episode of the “The Oprah Winfrey Show,” Winfrey revealed she had a half-sister, who her mother gave up for adoption when she was visiting her father in Tennessee. Winfrey was 9 at the time. 

As any excited older sister would do, Winfrey took to Instagram to express her joy over her sister’s academic accomplishment, writing: 

“My sister Pat, who discovered she was a part of our family 6 years ago, had one big dream when I met her. To go to college and finish strong! Today, that dream came true. Congratulations lil Sis. #UWMgrad.”
