Aurea Krangel Obituary
Elena was born in Paterson, New Jersey, and spent her childhood between Paterson and Manatí, Puerto Rico. She lived much of her adult life in West Windsor, New Jersey, before retiring to West Palm Beach with her late husband, Stan. Elena was a lifelong animal lover and especially enjoyed caring for her two cats, Boo Boo and Red. She had a passion for classic cars, particularly Corvettes, and also enjoyed cooking and gardening.
She is survived by her father, Octavio Moran, her sons Jonathan Krangel and Michael Autocunas. She was predeceased by her husband, Stanley Krangel, her mother, Aurea Moran, and her brother, Ray Moran.
A service will be held in West Palm Beach at Northwood Funeral Home at 1pm on Friday October 3. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Peggy Adams Animal Rescue League.

I was thinking about you, Elena watching a show about West Palm Beach and you came to mind. I am so sorry to hear of your passing. I will cherish the memories that we made in New Jersey when you and I shared an apartment. I will always remember those train rides into the World Trade Center when we were on our way to work in New York City. You made some good memories together back then May you rest in peace my friend

My beautiful cousin... We are going to miss you so much. You will always be special to Titi Carmen and our family in Puerto Rico. I´m grateful we created memories together. Before you transcended to reunite with your beloved Stan, you were surrounded by the love of your Guardian Angel, your sister in life, your BBF , who never let go of your hand. I will remember you as beautiful, smiling, a dancer, and with a great heart.
We still had pending our salsa dance, the splash in the pool, Piñones, and the trip to the beach of Culebra. I´ll see you in the next life.
Sending you a big, strong hug and kiss. With all my love, Titi Carmen, Luis, Sol, & Meidelyn ( Canòvanas, Puerto Rico)
