Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of the 35th U.S. president, succumbed on Tuesday after a recent announcement of a uncommon leukemia diagnosis.
A Public Announcement Announces the Loss
News of her death was announced in a public statement from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts.”
Understanding the Illness
In a published essay late last year, it was shared that she had been found to have a type of blood cancer with a rare mutation.
This form of cancer is a malignancy that affects the bone marrow and blood cells.
The family asks for privacy during this time as they cope with their sorrow.
