Neilia Hunter Biden, born on July 28, 1942, was the first wife of President Joe Biden and the mother of their three children: Beau, Hunter, and Naomi. A dedicated wife and mother, Neilia was pivotal in supporting Joe Biden’s early political career. Tragically, on December 18, 1972, just weeks after Joe's election to the U.S. Senate, Neilia and their 13-month-old daughter Naomi were killed in a car accident while Christmas shopping. Their two sons, Beau and Hunter, survived but were injured. Neilia's untimely death had a lasting impact on Joe Biden's life and his commitment to family.
