The Kennedy Family Honors Tatiana Schlossberg in a Quiet New York Farewell

Caroline Kennedy and her family came together in New York on January 5, 2026, to privately mourn and honor the life of Tatiana Schlossberg. The funeral service was held at St. Ignatius of Loyola Church on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, where close relatives and longtime friends gathered away from public attention. Outside the church, Caroline was seen holding her granddaughter, a moment that reflected both the intimacy of the gathering and the weight of loss shared across generations.

Tatiana Schlossberg passed away on December 30, 2025, at the age of 35 following a battle with acute myeloid leukemia. In the weeks before her death, she published a deeply personal essay detailing her diagnosis, the physical toll of treatment, and the emotional challenge of facing serious illness while raising young children. Her words conveyed clarity, love, and courage, offering readers an honest portrait of navigating fear and hope at the same time.

The location of the service carried special meaning for the family. St. Ignatius of Loyola was also the site of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’ memorial in 1994, creating a poignant connection between generations. Caroline Kennedy and her husband, Edwin Schlossberg, attended with 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 their respects.

Beyond her family legacy, Tatiana Schlossberg was recognized for her work as an environmental journalist and thoughtful writer, contributing to publications such as The New York Times. In a statement following her passing, her family described her as deeply loved and unforgettable. As they move forward, they have emphasized their commitment to preserving her memory—especially for her children—through love, resilience, and shared remembrance, ensuring that her voice and values continue to be felt.
