A 34-year-old Hoboken mother is the sole fatality in Thursday’s New Jersey Transit train crash, her heartbroken mother confirmed to The Post the same day.
Fabiola Bit🃏tar de Kroon had just dropped her 1-year-old daughter off at daycare Thursday morning and was likely heading out to hunt for a new apartment when the speeding NJ Transit train barreled toward the Hoboken station platf﷽orm where she was standing.
The impact of the crash caused debri🍌s to fly onto the tracks, with at least one piece fatally striking the Brazilian lawyer༒.
Her mother, Sueli, who still lives in Brazil, said she received a call from de Kroon’s distressed husbಞand around 4:30 p.m. with the tragic news.
“We are very, very sad,” she said.
De Kroon had only moved to New Jersey a year ago — leaving her hometown of Santos, Brazil, to follow her husband, whose company relocated him⛄ to New York.
She quit her job and left behind her family to make a new life for their young✨ daughter, Julia.
They had recently decided to start looking for apartments to be closer to Manhattan a♏nd find a better school district for Julia.
Sueli suspects that de Kroon was likely heading out to scout apartments Thursday morning after dropping Julia off 🅺at a local daycꦬare.
De Kroon’s husband, Daan, was out of town on a business trip at the time of the crash, ꦫbut was heading back tꦍo the city, .
The two got married in 2012, according to a Facebook photo that shows them gleefully gazing into each other’s eyes — her in a strapless, corseted weddi🌄ng gown and 🍎him in a black tux with a silver shirt.
Their Facebook profiles are filled with similar blissful images of th🐻em traveling the world.
Back in 2013, they went to Germany, where they stopped bဣy the Neuschwanstein Castle, a 19th-cen❀tury palace on which the Cinderella castle is based.
Just a few months later, they swapped out their scarves and jackets for scuba-diving gear, with in an underwaterౠ pic.
Sueli said her family is a♚r🙈ranging to have de Kroon’s body flown back to Brazil.
