Tatiana Schlossberg, an environmental journalist and the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, died Tuesday, aged 35.
The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation shared a statement online announcing her death. Schlossberg was the granddaughter of former President John F. Kennedy Jr. and former first lady Jackie Kennedy.
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts,” the statement read.
The post was signed “George, Edwin and Josephine Moran, Ed, Caroline, Jack, Rose and Rory.”
Schlossberg revealed she was diagnosed with a rare type of acute myeloid leukemia, a blood cancer, in an essay published last month in The New Yorker. In the essay, the 35-year-old recounted how she couldn’t believe she had received the terminal diagnosis.
“I did not—could not—believe that they were talking about me. I had swum a mile in the pool the day before, nine months pregnant. I wasn’t sick. I didn’t feel sick,” she wrote.
Schlossberg is survived by her husband, George Moran, and their two children. Schlossberg wrote that she was diagnosed shortly after giving birth to their daughter last year, when doctors noticed her white blood cell count was elevated. Their son was two years old at the time.
She’s also survived by her parents, her brother Jack Schlossberg and her sister Rose Schlossberg.
