Dr. Jill Biden has been by Joe Biden s side since before his tenure as vice president, and even before his first run for president in 1987. In their 40-plus years of marriage, they ve expanded their family, welcomed multiple grandchildren, and moved into the White House. They ve also endured the painful tragedy of losing a son, Beau Biden, to brain cancer in 2015. She is so damn tough and loyal, the president-elect said about his wife last August.
Now, the longtime couple are heading back to the White House as Joe Biden defeated President Donald Trump in 2020 presidential election. All eyes may be on Joe for now, but don t forget about Jill, a longtime educator, proud military mom, and prankster grandmother. After her husband was elected, she responded to the victory with a sweet photo, writing, He will be a President for all of our families.
For many who knew the first lady-elect, 69, the honor didnât come as a surprise.
âIt couldnât happen to a better person,â said Liz Leonard, a former classmate of Biden at Upper Moreland High School. âSheâs just so giving, and sheâs a hard worker ⦠and when she sets out to get something done she does it.â

The soon-to-be first lady was born Jill Tracy Jacobs on June 3, 1951 in Hammonton, N.J. to parents Donald Jacobs and Bonny Jean Godfrey.
Biden is the eldest of five sisters, according to a profile in The Philadelphia Inquirer. The family of seven later moved to Montgomery County first to Hatboro, and then to Willow Grove where she later attended Upper Moreland High School.
