No, John F. Kennedy's wife, Jacqueline Kennedy, did not lose a child while living in the White House. She had two children during her time as First Lady, Caroline Kennedy, born in 1957, and John F. Kennedy Jr., born in 1960.
The way the White House looks and operates for restorations and tour guides is largely based on the work that Jacqueline Kennedy did as First Lady of the United States.
January of 1961
White lilies were reported to be Mrs. Kennedy's favorite flower. Someone recalled that her coffin was covered with beautiful white lilies the small variety, the type used in "Mouget Des Bois" perfume (Coty) that was so popular as a fragrance in the 1960's. The lilies were in the shape of a cross, surrounded by what appeared to be green fern clippings. When Carolyn Bessette and JFK, Jr. were married, Carolyn carried a small bouquet of these lilies and JFK, Jr. wore a lily in his boutonniere. It was said that when the guests saw the beautiful bride, coming down the aisle, the sight of her small white bouquet of lilies brought them to tears because they recalled that Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis loved that flower.
