Her family announced the death through the JFK Presidential Library after she revealed a terminal leukemia in a November New Yorker essay.

Overview

  • The John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum posted the family’s statement on Tuesday confirming her death from leukemia at age 35.
  • Schlossberg publicly disclosed her illness in a deeply personal essay published on Nov. 22 in the New Yorker, timed to the anniversary of her grandfather’s assassination.
  • Doctors identified acute myeloid leukemia in May 2024 shortly after the birth of her second child, following abnormal blood counts.
  • She underwent intensive treatment including chemotherapy, two stem‑cell transplants—first from her sister and later from an unrelated donor—and enrollment in clinical trials.
  • Known for environmental and science reporting, including work for the New York Times, she is survived by her husband, George Moran, and their two young children.
