Former President Joe Biden and former Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry were among a plethora of high-profile politicians and celebrities who attended Tatiana Schlossberg’s private funeral at the Church of St. Ignatius of Loyola in New York City on Monday.
Schlossberg, an environmental journalist and author who was the granddaughter of former President John F. Kennedy and daughter of Caroline Kennedy, died at age 35 after a year-and-a-half battle with acute myeloid leukemia.
Her funeral was held at the Jesuit Catholic Church on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. It was a private, invitation-only service and not open to the general public.
Biden was photographed with his wife, former first lady Jill Biden, by Fox News Digital as they left the church after the service.

Kerry was also photographed outside the church. Kerry, a longtime Democratic senator from Massachusetts, served as secretary of state under former President Barack Obama and a special climate envoy under Biden.
Several other influential Democrats, including Obama political strategist David Axelrod, Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., and former New York mayor and Democratic presidential candidate Michael Bloomberg, were seen outside the church.
Those in attendance at Schlossberg’s funeral also included several high-profile media personalities and figures, including late-night host David Letterman, The New Yorker editor David Remnick, noted fashion designer Carolina Herrera and jazz-pop artist Jon Batiste. “Saturday Night Live” veteran and late-night host Seth Meyers was also photographed leaving the church.

Born and raised in New York City, Schlossberg built a career as a voice on climate and environmental issues after earning a bachelor’s degree in history from Yale University and a master’s degree in American history from the University of Oxford.
In 2024, Schlossberg was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and publicly shared her experiences in a personal essay for The New Yorker in November 2025.
“My parents and my brother and sister also raised my children and have been in my various hospital rooms almost every day for the past year and a half,” she wrote at the time.
Schlossberg also explained how doctors discovered her illness while she was in the hospital after the birth of her second child, a daughter.
She explained in her essay how doctors noticed that her white blood cell count “looked strange.”

She and her husband, George Moran, whom she married in 2017, also had a son.
After being told by a doctor that she had “maybe another year” to live, Schlossberg said her first thought was that “my children, whose faces are permanently attached to the inside of my eyelids, would not remember me.”
In her essay, she also predicted that her son “may have some memories, but is likely to confuse them with pictures he sees or stories he hears.”
