Harangen, the eldest of seven children, was born on December 28, 1898.
In a 2006 interview on the secret of her longevity, she said she believed she had lived so long because she drank one glass of cognac every day and did not have a man in her life.
She passed away in her sleep on November 25, her nephew told the local Laagendalsposten daily in southeastern Norway.
