Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of the 35th U.S. president, succumbed on Tuesday following a recent revelation of a uncommon blood cancer diagnosis.
Family and Institution Confirm the Sad News
News of her death was shared in a social media post from the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum.
“Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will forever remain in our hearts.”

In a personal essay late last year, she disclosed that she had been found to have acute myeloid leukemia with a uncommon variant.
This form of cancer is a malignancy that affects the bone marrow and blood cells.
