Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of the 35th U.S. president, succumbed on Tuesday after a recent revelation of a uncommon blood cancer diagnosis.
Family and Institution Shares News of the Passing
The sad news was announced in a online announcement by the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.
“Our beloved Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts.”
Understanding the Illness
In a published essay late last year, Schlossberg revealed that she had been found to have AML, a form of leukemia with a uncommon variant.
This condition is a cancer that originates in the blood and bone marrow.
The family asks for privacy during this time as they grieve.
