Dr.
Jill
Tracy
Biden
(née
Jacobs)
was
raised
in
Willow
Grove,
Pennsylvania.
Jill
is
the
oldest
of
four sisters, and the daughter of Bonnie,
five sisters, and the daughter of Bonny,
a
stay-at-home
mom,
and
Donald.
Both
her
parents
were
born
in
Hammonton,
New
Jersey.
Jill's
father,
who
was
a
banker,
passed
away
in
1999
1999,
and
her
mother
now
resides
in
Pennsylvania.
Jill
and
Joe
met
when
she
was
a
student
at
the
University
of
Delaware,
an
introduction
arranged
by
Joe's
brother.
When
Senator
Biden
called
to
ask
her
out,
Jill
made
sure
to
mention
she
was
not
impressed
with
his
title
and
that
he
should
feel
lucky
that
she
had
voted
for
him.
At
the
time
time,
Joe
had
two
sons,
Beau
and
Hunter.
The
couple
dated
for
two
years,
and
on
June
17,
1977
1977,
were
married
at
the
United
Nations
chapel
in
New
York
City.
Jill
has
said
that
when
she
married
Joe,
she
knew
she
was
marrying
the
whole
family,
including
his
two
sons.
Beau
and
Hunter
joined
the
couple
on
their
honeymoon.
In
1981,
Joe
and
Jill
had
a
daughter,
Ashley.
All
of
the
children
are
now
grown
and
five
grandchildren
-
Naomi,
Finnegan,
Maisy,
Natalie,
and
Hunter
Biden
-
have
been
added
to
the
family.
Beau
is
the
Attorney
General
of
the
State
of
Delaware. A captain in the Delaware National Guard, he is slated to go to Iraq in October.
Delaware and a captain in the Delaware National Guard.
Hunter
is
a
lawyer;
and
Ashley
is
employed
as
a
social
worker.
Jill
is
in
her
15th
year
at
Delaware
Technical
and
Community
College in Wilmington,
College,
teaching
English
composition.
She
also
spent
13
years
in
the
public
schools,
where
she
was
a
Reading
specialist
and
English
teacher
as
well
as
a
part-time
teacher
with
Rockford
Psychiatric
Hospital
Adolescent
Program.
While
working
full-time
and
raising
a
family,
Jill
earned
two
masters
degrees:
a
Master's
degree
in
English
from
Villanova
University
(1987)
and
a
Master's
degree
in
reading
from
West
Chester
University
(1981).
She
graduated
from
the
University
of
Delaware
with
a
Bachelor
of
Arts
(1975).
This
past
January,
Jill
earned
a
Doctorate
in
Education
from
the
University
of
Delaware
in
2007.
Her
dissertation
focused
on
how
to
retain
students
in
community
colleges.
When
her
students
ask
if
she
is
related
to
Joe,
she
says
he
is
just
a
relative.
As
she
explains,
she
is
their
English
teacher
and
wants
them
to
view
her
as
such,
not
the
wife
of
a
U.S.
Senator.
When
she
arrived
home
from
defending
her
thesis,
Joe
had
placed
two
signs
along
the
driveway.
One
said,
"Congratulations
Dr.
Jacobs-Biden"
and
the
other
"Dr.
and
Senator
Biden
live
here."
Jill
has
always
been
active
and
engaged
in
issues
that
matter
to
her
most,
including
healthcare.
Jill
had
four
friends
with
breast
cancer,
one
of
whom
died,
and
she
thought
as
an
educator,
there
had
to
be
something
that
she
could
do.
In
1993,
Jill
started
the
Biden
Breast
Health
Initiative
that
has
educated
more
than
7,000
ninth-through
twelfth
grade
girls
in
Delaware
about
proper
breast
health.
She
is
also
a
Board
member
of
the
Literacy
Volunteers
of
America.
Jill
also
is
involved
with
Delaware
Boots
on
the
Ground,
an
organization
she
created
joined
after
campaigning
in
the
primaries
and
hearing
all
the
challenges
that
military
family
members
face.
The
group
works
with
many
whose
needs
existing
programs
are
not
meeting
or
who
have
fallen
through
the
cracks.
This
summer,
Jill
also
started
a
program
called
Book
Buddies
to
get
kids
children
reading
early,
starting
at
4
years
old.
Partnering
with
"Ministry
of
Caring"
day
care,
it
Book Buddies
targets
low-income
children
and
helps
to
raise
money
to
buy
books
for
them
to
read.
Jill
and
her
family
talked
Joe
into
running
for
President
because
she thought the country needed her husband's leadership,
they thought the country needed her husband's leadership.
Jill
says
she
probably
wouldn't
be
politically
active
if
she
wasn't
married
to
Joe
but
now
that
she
has
a
platform,
feels
a
responsibility
to
speak
out
about
issues
that
are
important
to
her
and
the
country.
Jill
makes
sure
to
keep
active
as
well,
running
5
miles
5
days
a
week.
She
also
ran
in
the
Marine
Corps
Marathon.
Three
of
Jill's
sisters
live
in
Pennsylvania,
and
another
sister
lives
in
New
Jersey.
