Oelwein Women Die in Caracas Plant Blast Tragedy
Two Oelwein women were among about 140 killed December 19 in a Caracas power plant explosion. Theresa Marcellini 27 and Marie Marcellini Angulo 25, and Marie's husband Carlos Angulo 26, were identified by the American Embassy and Red Cross. The sisters had visited Venezuela in August. Carlos worked at the plant and must serve two years due to a government grant. The Zanatta family of Oelwein reports near relations and burial details are unclear.
