Elena Conde

Elena Conde, born on February 3, 1930, in Havana, Cuba, passed away peacefully, surrounded by her loved ones. A woman of profound grace, strength, and unwavering devotion, Elena built a life rooted in love, resilience, and family.

In 1966, she courageously began a new chapter, traveling to the United States with her family. Through every challenge and every triumph, she carried with her the warmth, culture, and spirit of her Cuban heritage.

Elena was widowed by her first husband, Onelio Valdes, and later remarried Miguel Conde.

She was a cherished mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, whose love touched multiple generations. Elena is survived by her beloved children:

• Daughter: Milagros Teran and her husband, Alberto Teran

• Son: Luis Valdes and his wife, Angela Valdes

She is also lovingly remembered by her nephew, Hugo Herrera.

Elena’s legacy continues through her grandchildren: Albert Teran, Daniel Teran, Christine Valdes, Andrew Valdes, and Patrick Valdes, and her great-grandchildren: Andrea, Adrianna, Anastasia, and Savannah.

Elena will be remembered for her generosity, her comforting presence, and the way she made every person feel welcomed and loved. Her stories, traditions, and strength will remain alive in the hearts of all who knew her.

May she rest in eternal peace, reunited with those who passed before her, and forever cherished by those she leaves behind.

Elena was a resident of Union, New Jersey.
