A tender snapshot of Tatiana Schlossberg beaming beside her husband and young children on a Central Park lawn now serves as a final keepsake, released by the JFK Library Foundation days after her passing at age 35.
The Last Family Portrait
Captured roughly three months before her death, the photo shows Schlossberg and George Moran seated on grass with their red-haired toddlers, Edwin and Josephine.
The Foundation’s January 5 post reads:
> “As we remember Tatiana and celebrate her life, our hearts are with her family and all who loved her.”
The timing follows the December 30 announcement on the Foundation’s social channels:
> “Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts.”
> – George, Edwin and Josephine Moran, Ed, Caroline, Jack, Rose and Rory
Diagnosis After Childbirth
In a November 2025 New Yorker essay, Schlossberg detailed discovering the illness after doctors spotted abnormal white-blood-cell levels following her second delivery.
- She had swum a mile while nine months pregnant and felt healthy
- Medical teams later estimated less than a year to live
- Rose Kennedy, her sister, donated matching stem cells for a transfusion
- Jack Schlossberg, her brother, repeatedly asked if a half-match could suffice
A Family’s Promise to Remember
A Kennedy family friend told News Of Los Angeles that Caroline Kennedy now faces a familiar duty:
> “Caroline is going to have to do for Tatiana’s children what Jackie had to do for her children: Keep the memory alive of their parent that they might not remember.”
Caroline was five days shy of six when President Kennedy was assassinated; her mother prioritized shielding Caroline and John Jr. from public grief while preserving their father’s legacy.
Key Takeaways
- The newly shared photo immortalizes Schlossberg’s final months with her young family
- Her November 2025 essay publicly chronicled her leukemia battle and family support
- Caroline Kennedy is expected to help raise Edwin and Josephine alongside George Moran while safeguarding Tatiana’s memory
As the Kennedy family mourns another profound loss, the Central Park image stands as a quiet testament to love, resilience, and a mother’s enduring light.
