Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of the 35th U.S. president, passed away this week following a November disclosure of a rare blood cancer diagnosis.
A Public Announcement Announces the Loss
The sad news was announced in a online announcement from the Kennedy Presidential Library.
“Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts.”
Details of the Condition
In a recently published piece this past fall, Schlossberg revealed that she had been suffering from AML, a form of leukemia with a specific genetic mutation.
Acute myeloid leukemia is a cancer that targets the body's blood-forming tissues.
The family asks for privacy during this time as they grieve.
