A member of the famed Kennedy family, Tatiana Schlossberg, died on Tuesday after a November announcement of a rare leukemia diagnosis.
A Public Announcement Announces the Loss
News of her death was shared in a social media post from the presidential library.
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will forever remain in our hearts.”
Understanding the Diagnosis
Within a published essay this past fall, she disclosed that she had been suffering from AML, a form of leukemia with a specific genetic mutation.
Acute myeloid leukemia is a cancer that affects the bone marrow and blood cells.
The family asks for privacy during this time as they cope with their sorrow.
