Kennedy Family Bids Private Farewell to Tatiana Schlossberg
A solemn hush settled over Manhattan’s Upper East Side as friends, family, and colleagues gathered at the Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola to say goodbye to Tatiana Schlossberg. The 35-year-old environmental journalist passed after a private battle with leukemia, leaving behind a legacy of intellect, dedication, and quiet courage.
Inside the church, the Kennedy family embraced in close-knit support. Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg were joined by Tatiana’s husband, George Moran, and their two young children, while siblings Jack and Rose Schlossberg stood nearby, offering steady comfort. The service reflected Tatiana’s own life—publicly engaged yet deeply private, shaped by purpose, family, and work rather than spectacle.
A small number of prominent figures attended, including President Joe Biden and longtime family friends, highlighting the far-reaching impact of her life. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was notably absent, attending to official duties in Washington. Observers remarked on the family’s careful balance of private grief and public presence, choosing a dignified farewell over ceremony or show.
