“She was very beautiful in a very understated way. She was not flamboyant in her dress and makeup or anything.” After graduating from SU in 1964, Neilia taught English at Bellevue Heights until 1968. She treated every student the same, whether they were a cheerleader or a quiet kid, and she kept her door open if they needed her, said Patricia Smarzo, who was a student of Neilia’s for seventh grade. Smarzo described Neilia as a “big sister” who supported Smarz during some of the worst moments of her adolescence. When a few kids made up a song mocking the teenager for being overweight, Smarzo went to Neilia, crying. “Who said that to you?” Neilia asked. She was so angry, and “it was like waving a flag in front of a bull,” Smarzo said.
Neilia would position herself near Smarzo’s bullies in the hallway to ensure they couldn’t make fun of her. After the teacher spoke with them multiple times, the bullies’ rampant teasing eventually stopped. One apologized years later, Smarzo said, and she believes it’s because Neilia’s words resonated with them. Whenever Smarzo felt insecure, especially in her teen years, she would remember how Neilia would call her beautiful and help her understand that, one day, she would be happy with who she was and how she looked. “Don’t worry. You’ll grow into yourself,” Neilia would say. “Since I was a kid in school, there have always been bullies. There always will be. But there will always be teachers out there that will take you under their wing and say, ‘It will get better,’” Smarzo said.
In her 2019 memoir, Jill Biden wrote of the family’s annual visits to the cemetery where Neilia and Naomi are buried. “I owed her so much: my loyalty, my gratitude for the gift of these beautiful boys, and, yes, my love,” she wrote.[10/15, 22:27] SKILL INDIA: Jo Jorgensen Politician Jo Jorgensen is an American libertarian political activist and academic Jorgensen was the Libertarian Party’s nominee for president of the United States in the 2020 election, in which she finished third in the popular vote with about 1.9 million votes, 1.2% of the national total.
