The granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, Tatiana Schlossberg, succumbs at age 35.
A member of the famed Kennedy family, Tatiana Schlossberg, died on Tuesday following a November announcement of a rare blood cancer diagnosis.
A Public Announcement Announces the Passing
The sad news was confirmed in a social media post by the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.
“Our beloved Tatiana passed away this morning. She will forever remain in our hearts.”
Insight into the Illness
Within a personal essay late last year, Schlossberg revealed that she had been suffering from AML, a form of leukemia with a specific genetic mutation.
This condition is a cancer that originates in the body's blood-forming tissues.
The family has requested privacy as they cope with their sorrow.
