Tatiana Schlossberg's Funeral What Happened?

The funeral of Tatiana Schlossberg was held at the same church where her grandmother Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s memorial was located.

Schlossberg, the daughter of Edwin Schlossberg and Caroline Kennedy, died at the age of 35 from a rare form of cancer.

Tatiana Schlossberg was remembered at a private funeral on January 5 at St. Ignatius Loyola. It was the same New York City church where a memorial service had previously been held for her grandmother, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis.

Schlossberg, who died on December 30 after battling a rare form of leukemia, was laid to rest in a ceremony attended by a number of prominent figures and celebrities, including former President Joe Biden, House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, David Letterman, and Maria Shriver, as well as several of Schlossberg’s cousins.

A source in attendance said that Schlossberg’s brother, Jack Schlossberg, welcomed the mourners, while her husband, George Moran— with whom she had two young children—delivered a tribute. Her sister, Rose Schlossberg, also gave a reading.

Tatiana Schlossberg was the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg and one of the three grandchildren of John F. Kennedy. Caroline Kennedy was seen carrying Tatiana’s one-year-old daughter, Josephine, outside the church. Moran was also seen holding their son, Edwin, who was born in 2022.

In November—on the 62nd anniversary of her grandfather’s assassination—Schlossberg revealed in an essay for The New Yorker that shortly after the birth of her daughter in 2024, she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, which she described as “terminal.”

“For the past year and a half, my parents and my siblings have been raising my children almost every day and sitting in hospital rooms,” she wrote. “They held my hand when I was in pain and tried not to show their own pain and grief in order to protect me.”

“All my life, I have tried to be good— a good student, a good sister, and a good daughter— and to protect my mother, never upsetting or angering her,” she added. “Now I have added a new tragedy to her life, to our family’s life, and there is nothing I can do to stop it.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, Jackie Kennedy Onassis was buried after her death in May 1994 at the age of 64 from non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a type of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. Following a funeral at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola, she was laid to rest beside her first husband at Arlington National Cemetery.

Schlossberg was a graduate of Yale and Oxford and worked as a science reporter for The New York Times. She also wrote the 2019 book Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have.

Throughout the service, Schlossberg was remembered for her passion for reporting on climate change.

“I think climate change is the biggest story in the world,” she said at the time. “It is the story of everything. It’s about science and nature, but it’s also about politics, health, and business. As a journalist, when I looked at it, it felt like a truly important story to tell, and if I could help communicate it, it might inspire others to get involved and take action.”

On the day of her funeral, Schlossberg was also remembered through public tributes. The JFK Library Foundation shared a photo on its Instagram account showing Schlossberg with her husband and their two children, taken a few months before her death.

Jack Schlossberg also posted a quote from her book, which read in part: “It’s up to us to create a country that is responsible to the planet, to one another, and to future generations—so that they are born into a world that looks different from the one we have known for the past 10,000 years.”
