A private funeral service was held for Tatiana Schlossberg on January 5, 2026, at the Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola on Manhattan’s Upper East Side — the same church where her grandmother Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis’s funeral took place in 1994. The gathering was solemn and restrained, reflecting both the family’s grief and their desire for privacy. Attendees included close family, friends, and longtime associates who arrived quietly and observed the service with reverence.
Tatiana’s immediate family was present, including her mother Caroline Kennedy, her father Edwin Schlossberg, and her siblings Jack and Rose Schlossberg. Her husband, George Moran, attended with their two young children. The presence of her extended family and close friends underscored the deep personal bonds she maintained with loved ones, even as public recognition of her life and work grew.
Alongside family, the funeral drew notable public figures from political, cultural, and media circles. Former President Joe Biden, former Secretary of State John Kerry, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg were photographed at the service. Designer Carolina Herrera, who created Tatiana’s wedding dress, and television host David Letterman were among the friends who came to pay respects, highlighting the broad impact of her life beyond her immediate family.
Tatiana Schlossberg, who died at age 35 on December 30, 2025, was an accomplished environmental journalist and author. She reported on climate, science, and ecological issues for outlets including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Atlantic, Vanity Fair, and Bloomberg News, and authored the book Inconspicuous Consumption: The Environmental Impact You Don’t Know You Have. She earned degrees from Yale University and the University of Oxford, blending intellectual rigor with a commitment to public service.
Tatiana’s death followed a battle with acute myeloid leukemia, which she publicly revealed in a heartfelt essay in The New Yorker in November 2025. Diagnosed shortly after the birth of her second child in 2024, she underwent chemotherapy, bone marrow transplants, and experimental treatment while continuing to write and reflect on her experience. Her openness about her illness — including the shock of the diagnosis and the support of her family — resonated widely and drew public admiration for her courage and honesty.
In the days following her passing, family and friends have remembered Tatiana for her intelligence, kindness, and dedication to meaningful work. The John F. Kennedy Library Foundation shared a family photo and tribute, and tributes from relatives, including her brother Jack, underscored her impact as a journalist, thinker, and beloved family member. Her life — though tragically brief — was celebrated as one marked by service, insight, and compassion, leaving a legacy that reflects both personal devotion and public engagement.
