Tatiana Schlossberg, the granddaughter of the 35th U.S. president, passed away this week after a November disclosure of a rare leukemia diagnosis.
Family and Institution Announces the Passing
The sad news was shared in a social media post by the presidential library.
“Tatiana passed away this morning. She will forever remain in our hearts.”
Understanding the Condition
Within a published essay this past fall, she disclosed that she had been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia with a uncommon variant.
This form of cancer is a disease that targets the body's blood-forming tissues.
The family asks for privacy during this time as they cope with their sorrow.
