A hush fell over Manhattan’s Upper East Side as mourners arrived one by one at a familiar church, their grief expressed not through spectacle but through silence. Inside the Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the Kennedy family gathered for a private farewell to Tatiana Schlossberg, whose death at 35 marked the end of a long and fiercely private battle with leukemia. The setting itself carried generations of meaning for the family, underscoring that this was not only a goodbye, but a moment rooted deeply in shared history, faith, and remembrance.
Family members stood closely together, united by loss. Tatiana’s parents, Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, were joined by her husband, George Moran, and their two young children. Her siblings, Jack and Rose Schlossberg, remained nearby, offering quiet support. Those present described the service as intimate and restrained, reflecting Tatiana’s own life—publicly engaged through her work as an environmental journalist, yet personally devoted to family, writing, and purpose rather than attention.
