Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of the 35th U.S. president, succumbed on Tuesday following a recent announcement of a rare blood cancer diagnosis.
Family and Institution Confirm the Loss
Her passing was shared in a social media post by the Kennedy Presidential Library.
“Our beloved Tatiana passed away this morning. She will forever remain in our hearts.”
Understanding the Illness
In a recently published piece late last year, she disclosed that she had been diagnosed with AML, a form of leukemia with a specific genetic mutation.
This condition is a disease that affects the body's blood-forming tissues.
The family asks for privacy during this time as they cope with their sorrow.
