How Did Joe Biden Met His First Wife Neilia Hunter Biden?

Following their initial meeting, Biden relocated to Syracuse to be nearer to her and to attend law school. The couple exchanged vows on August 27, 1966. After Biden’s graduation from law school, they settled in Wilmington, Delaware. There, Biden served on the New Castle County Council. Together, the couple welcomed three children: Joseph Robinette “Beau”, Robert Hunter, and Naomi Christina “Amy”. During Biden’s campaign to dethrone U.S. Senator J.

A Look at What Killed Joe Biden’s First Wife
On December 18, 1972, not long after Joe Biden was elected to the U.S. Senate, his first wife, Neilia, was involved in a tragic car accident. She was driving their three children west along Valley Road in Hockessin, Delaware, when their car collided with a northbound tractor-trailer at the intersection with Delaware Route 7 (Limestone Road). The police concluded that Neilia had inadvertently driven into the path of the oncoming tractor-trailer.
The truck’s driver, Curtis C. Dunn from Avondale, Pennsylvania, was unharmed in the collision and passed away in 1999. Following the accident, all occupants of Neilia’s vehicle were rushed to Wilmington General Hospital. Unfortunately, Neilia and the youngest child, Naomi, were pronounced dead upon arrival, while their sons, Beau and Hunter, survived but sustained severe injuries. Two weeks subsequent to the accident, Joe Biden took his Senate oath in the hospital, alongside his recovering sons. Neilia and Naomi were laid to rest at St. Joseph on the Brandywine Cemetery in Greenville, Delaware.
