Tatiana Schlossberg, the youngest granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, tragically died of cancer Tuesday at age 35, the JFK Library Foundation announced.
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts,” the foundation posted on its Instagram page, with the note signed by “George, Edwin and Josephine Moran, Ed, Caroline, Jack, Rose and Rory” — referring to her husband, two small children, parents, two siblings and a sister-in-law.
Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, had written a heart-wrenching personal essay published in the New Yorker magazine last month in which she revealed that she had less than a year to live after being diagnosed with myeloid leukemia with a rare mutation.
“Maybe my brain is replaying my life now because I have a terminal diagnosis, and all these memories will be lost,” Schlossberg wrote in the piece published on Nov. 22 — the 62nd anniversary of her grandfather’s 1963 assassination.
