Members of the Kennedy family and close friends gathered quietly at the Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola on Manhattan’s Upper East Side for a private memorial honoring Tatiana Schlossberg. The service was held away from public attention, reflecting the family’s wish for a moment of remembrance focused on reflection rather than publicity.
Tatiana Schlossberg, the daughter of Caroline Kennedy and Edwin Schlossberg, was remembered for her dedication to family, writing, and environmental advocacy. She was the wife of George Moran and the mother of two young children. Those attending described her as thoughtful, deeply committed to her work, and devoted to raising awareness about climate and environmental responsibility.
Seated together were her parents, her brother Jack Schlossberg, and her sister Rose Schlossberg, whose presence highlighted the close bond within the family during a time of loss. The gathering emphasized unity, support, and shared remembrance rather than ceremony.
Several well-known public figures attended in a personal capacity, including President Joe Biden, former Secretary of State John Kerry, and television host David Letterman. Their presence reflected the respect Tatiana earned through her professional work and personal character, while the overall tone of the service remained intimate and restrained.
Friends and family later spoke of her strength during a long private illness and of the clarity and honesty with which she approached both life and writing. Though her life was cut short, Tatiana Schlossberg is remembered for her compassion, intellect, and commitment to causes that extended beyond herself, leaving a legacy rooted in purpose, family, and quiet integrity.
