The Kennedy family gathered in somber unity on Monday, January 5, for the private funeral of Tatiana Schlossberg at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola on Manhattan’s Upper East Side — the very same historic Catholic parish where her grandmother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, was memorialized in 1994.

Schlossberg, the 35-year-old environmental journalist and granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, passed away on December 30, 2025, after an aggressive battle with a rare form of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Her death, coming just over a month after she publicly detailed her terminal diagnosis in a poignant New Yorker essay, has reignited discussions about the so-called “Kennedy curse” that has plagued the iconic American dynasty with repeated tragedies.

The service was strictly private, with no public access or media inside the grand limestone church on Park Avenue. However, arrivals outside drew attention as family members, dignitaries, and close friends braved the frigid January weather to pay their respects.

Leading the procession was Schlossberg’s widower, George Moran, a 36-year-old urologist, who escorted their young son Edwin, 3, dressed in a small blue blazer, while daughter Josephine, 1, was carried by her grandmother, Caroline Kennedy. Caroline, 68, the only surviving child of JFK and Jackie, appeared composed yet visibly grief-stricken in a black wool suit, arm-in-arm with husband Edwin Schlossberg, 80.

Siblings Rose Schlossberg, 37, and Jack Schlossberg, 32, flanked their parents. Extended family included cousins Maria Shriver, Kerry Kennedy, and Joe Kennedy III. Notable attendees spotted entering the church included former President Joe Biden, House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, talk show legend David Letterman, fashion designer Carolina Herrera (who created Schlossberg’s wedding gown), and New Yorker editor David Remnick.

The choice of St. Ignatius Loyola carried profound symbolism. It was here that thousands mourned Jackie Onassis after her 1994 death from non-Hodgkin lymphoma at age 64. The parallel — another young Kennedy woman taken by cancer — was not lost on observers. Sources close to the family described Caroline as channeling her mother’s legendary stoicism to support her grandchildren and widower.

Inside, the ceremony featured a traditional Catholic Mass, with readings and eulogies focusing on Schlossberg’s intellect, humor, and dedication to family and the environment. One family friend recounted how Moran requested mourners remember her by “being playful, doing crossword puzzles quickly, listening with kindness, and laughing hysterically” — traits that defined her vibrant personality.

Tatiana Celia Kennedy Schlossberg was born on May 5, 1990, in New York City, the middle child of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg. Raised in relative privacy despite her famous lineage, she attended Yale University, graduating with a history degree before earning a master’s in American history from Oxford.

Her career in journalism centered on climate change and environmental issues. From 2014 to 2017, she worked as a reporter for The New York Times’ science section. In 2019, she authored “Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have,” a well-received book examining the hidden ecological footprints of modern life. Colleagues remembered her as incisive and approachable, with a knack for breaking down complex topics.

Privately, Schlossberg met George Moran at Yale. The couple married in a low-key ceremony at the Kennedy compound on Martha’s Vineyard in September 2017. They welcomed son Edwin in 2022 and daughter Josephine on May 25, 2024 — the very day her cancer was detected.

In her November 22, 2025, New Yorker essay “A Battle With My Blood” — published on the anniversary of JFK’s assassination — Schlossberg chronicled the shocking diagnosis. Routine postpartum bloodwork revealed an abnormally high white blood cell count, leading to confirmation of AML with a rare Inversion 3 mutation. This subtype, uncommon in patients under 60, carried a grim prognosis.

She underwent intense treatments: multiple rounds of chemotherapy, two bone marrow transplants, and a CAR-T cell immunotherapy trial. Despite temporary remissions, the cancer relentlessly returned. Doctors estimated she had about a year left.

With raw honesty and dark humor, Schlossberg wrote about the physical toll — hair loss, hospitalizations, separation from her newborn — and emotional weight. She praised Moran as her unwavering support: “Not everyone can be married to a doctor, but if you can, it’s a very good idea.” She expressed guilt over adding “a new tragedy” to her mother’s life, echoing the family’s history of loss.

The essay also touched on broader frustrations, including subtle criticism of cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s health policies, calling him “an embarrassment” in the context of medical misinformation.

News of her death was announced via the JFK Library Foundation’s Instagram: “Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts.” Tributes flooded in from across the political and cultural spectrum.

Maria Shriver called her “valiant, strong, courageous… a perfect daughter, sister, mother.” Jack Schlossberg shared a heartfelt post honoring his sister’s wit and warmth. Environmental groups hailed her contributions, vowing to continue her advocacy.

In the days following the funeral, the family has remained private, focusing on supporting Moran and the children. A recent photo released by the JFK Library — taken on Martha’s Vineyard in September 2025 — shows a smiling Tatiana with her family, capturing a moment of joy amid her illness.

Schlossberg’s burial details have not been disclosed, but sources indicate a private interment.

Her passing adds another chapter to the Kennedy saga of triumph and tragedy. From assassinations to plane crashes and overdoses, the family has endured public grief repeatedly. Yet, as one attendee noted, they continue to embody resilience.

Tatiana Schlossberg leaves behind a legacy of thoughtful journalism, environmental passion, and quiet strength. Her words in the essay resonate: She fought not just for her life, but to leave the world better informed and kinder.

Survivors include husband George Moran; children Edwin and Josephine; parents Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg; siblings Rose and Jack; and numerous aunts, uncles, and cousins.

The Upper East Side church, once again a site of Kennedy mourning, stands as a testament to a family’s enduring bond amid profound loss.
