Kennedy family attends funeral for Tatiana Schlossberg
Jan. 6 (UPI) — A private funeral has been held in New York for journalist Tatiana Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg.
The granddaughter of the late President John F. Kennedy and his wife Jackie died of leukemia on Dec. 30. She was 35.
The New York Post said Tatiana’s parents, her siblings Jack and Rose, and cousins Kerry and Joe Kennedy III were among the mourners seen entering the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola in Manhattan Monday.
People.com said comedian David Letterman and fashion designer Carolina Herrera also attended the service at the church where Jackie Kennedy’s funeral was held in 1994.
The JFK Library Foundation also released a photo of Tatiana smiling and playing with her husband George Moran and their young children — Edwin and Josephine — outdoors.
“As we remember Tatiana and celebrate her life, our hearts are with her family and all who loved her,” the photo is captioned.
Tatiana Schlossberg’s funeral, held at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola in Manhattan, was a deeply emotional and private affair. Family, friends, and close colleagues gathered to honor the life of the 35-year-old journalist, who had bravely battled leukemia before passing away on December 30. Tatiana, the daughter of Ambassador Caroline Kennedy and designer Edwin Schlossberg, was remembered not only for her professional achievements but also for her warmth and generosity.
Caroline Kennedy, who has long been involved in public service, was visibly emotional as she joined her family at the ceremony. Her son Jack and daughter Rose, who had grown up with Tatiana, stood by her side. Among the mourners were several notable figures, including comedian David Letterman, who had a longstanding friendship with the Kennedy family, and fashion icon Carolina Herrera. The presence of these prominent individuals underscored the widespread respect and admiration for Tatiana and her family.
The funeral service was a somber reminder of the legacy of the Kennedy family, with the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola holding significant meaning for the family. It was the same church where Jackie Kennedy was laid to rest in 1994, adding a deeply personal element to the occasion.
In a tribute to Tatiana’s spirit, the JFK Library Foundation released a touching photograph of her playing with her children, Edwin and Josephine, and her husband George Moran. The image captured the essence of her life—full of joy, love, and devotion to her family. “As we remember Tatiana and celebrate her life, our hearts are with her family and all who loved her,” the caption read, offering a heartfelt message of remembrance and support.
This loss leaves a deep void in the Kennedy family, but Tatiana’s legacy, both as a journalist and a beloved family member, will continue to inspire those who knew her.
