Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of the 35th U.S. president, died on Tuesday following a November disclosure of a rare leukemia diagnosis.
Family and Institution Confirm the Passing
News of her death was shared in a public statement by the Kennedy Presidential Library.
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will forever remain in our hearts.”

As detailed in a personal essay this past fall, she disclosed that she had been diagnosed with AML, a form of leukemia with a specific genetic mutation.
This form of cancer is a cancer that targets the bone marrow and blood cells.
Those close to her asks for privacy during this time as they cope with their sorrow.
