Mango Wangel passed away on 5 July in Lebanon, New Hampshire.
Mango left Dartmouth after her first year to return to her home in California, where she had two children-Nalin, now 10, and Jonah, now 7. However, Mango’s ambitions brought her family back to Dartmouth in 2001. Mango graduated from Dartmouth in 2005 and remained in the Upper Valley with her children following a divorce from her husband.
Alice Hartley ’00, who knew Mango since high school, described her as "outgoing and friendly and always getting people to smile... She managed to juggle school, family, and paying the bills in a way that always defied explanation".
A memorial service was held on the BEMA on 21 July. A memorial fund has been set up to benefit her two children. Those wishing to contribute are invited to send their gifts to the Mango Wangel Memorial Fund, c/o Lake Sunapee Bank, 83 Main St., West Lebanon NH 03784.
