- Elena Ceaușescu, wife of Nicolae Ceaușescu
- Valentin Ceaușescu, Nicolae Ceaușescu's older son
- Zoia Ceaușescu, Nicolae Ceaușescu's daughter
- Nicu Ceaușescu, Nicolae Ceaușescu's younger son
- Marin Ceaușescu, Nicolae Ceaușescu's older brother
- Ilie Ceaușescu, Nicolae Ceaușescu's younger brother
