Caroline Kennedy and her family gathered quietly in New York on January 5, 2026, to honor the life of Tatiana Schlossberg during a private funeral service marked by reflection and grief. The ceremony was held at St. Ignatius of Loyola Church on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, where close relatives and longtime friends arrived without fanfare. Outside the church, Caroline Kennedy was seen holding her granddaughter, a poignant image that underscored the generational weight of loss felt by the family.
Tatiana Schlossberg died on December 30, 2025, at the age of 35 after a battle with acute myeloid leukemia. In the weeks before her death, she shared a moving personal essay detailing her diagnosis, the intensity of treatment, and the emotional reality of confronting serious illness while raising young children. Her writing reflected both vulnerability and clarity, focusing on love for her family and the challenge of navigating hope and fear at the same time.
The service carried deep historical meaning for the Kennedy family. St. Ignatius of Loyola was also the site of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ memorial service in 1994, linking generations through shared remembrance. Caroline Kennedy and her husband, Edwin Schlossberg, attended alongside their children, Jack and Rose. Tatiana’s husband, Dr. George Moran, was present with their two children, Edwin, 3, and Josephine, 1. Family friends, including former President Joe Biden, joined them in paying tribute.
Tatiana Schlossberg was known beyond her family name for her work as an environmental journalist and thoughtful writer, contributing to outlets such as The New York Times. Following her passing, the family released a statement describing her as deeply loved and impossible to forget. As they move forward, they have emphasized their commitment to preserving her legacy for her children—through storytelling, resilience, and enduring love—ensuring that her voice and values remain part of their lives.
