Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of the 35th U.S. president, succumbed on Tuesday following a November announcement of a rare blood cancer diagnosis.
A Public Announcement Announces the Loss
The sad news was shared in a social media post by the Kennedy Presidential Library.
“Our beloved Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts.”
Understanding the Diagnosis
In a personal essay late last year, she disclosed that she had been found to have AML, a form of leukemia with a specific genetic mutation.
Acute myeloid leukemia is a disease that targets the body's blood-forming tissues.
The family asks for privacy during this time as they grieve.
