Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of the 35th U.S. president, succumbed on Tuesday following a November disclosure of a rare blood cancer diagnosis.
Family and Institution Confirm the Loss
Her passing was confirmed in a public statement by the Kennedy Presidential Library.
“Our beloved Tatiana passed away this morning. She will forever remain in our hearts.”
Understanding the Diagnosis
Within a published essay late last year, she disclosed that she had been suffering from acute myeloid leukemia with a specific genetic mutation.
Acute myeloid leukemia is a malignancy that affects the blood and bone marrow.
