A hush fell over Manhattan’s Upper East Side as mourners gathered at the Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola to say goodbye to Tatiana Schlossberg, the 35-year-old daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg. The service, held on January 5, 2026, took place just days after her death from leukemia and echoed deep family history: the same church had once hosted the memorial of her grandmother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. Family members arrived visibly devastated—Tatiana’s husband, George Moran, carried their young son, while her brother, Jack Schlossberg, walked beside their father. Public figures including Joe Biden and John Kerry attended, reflecting the broad reach of a life lived quietly yet meaningfully in the public eye. Absent was Robert F. Kennedy Jr., whose absence drew public attention as images of the grieving family spread across social media.

Behind the solemn farewell was a long, private battle Tatiana had only recently shared. An environmental journalist and writer, she revealed in an essay for The New Yorker how her leukemia was discovered shortly after the birth of her second child. Despite relentless treatments—chemotherapy, transplants, remissions, and relapses—she focused on being present for her two young children, hoping they would remember her love, curiosity, and purpose rather than her illness. Born into one of America’s most storied families, Tatiana Schlossberg is remembered not for legacy alone, but for her courage, compassion, and the quiet strength with which she faced the end of her life.
