US : Sunday marks the 50th anniversary of the death of President Joe Biden’s first wife Neilia Hunter Biden.
Mr Biden met the stunning blonde while on spring break from the University of Delaware. He snuck into an exclusive beach club in the Bahamas, where he spotted Neilia sunning poolside.
Despite their different upbringings ― hers more on the posh side and him being, “just a kid from Scranton, Pennsylvania” — along with opposing political leanings, the two were married in August 1966 with their first son Beau arriving in 1969, followed by son Hunter, and a year later daughter Naomi.
Neilia supported all of her husband’s political aspirations and was a key player in Mr Biden’s first run for the senate. His victory over Republican challenger J Caleb Boggs made him the second-youngest candidate to win a seat in the US Senate.
