Macrina Ocampo Mata: Nanny
1950-2009
Shortly after 1 a.m. on November 8, Marina and Jose Arredondo were in their car heading south down the 101. Following them, in a second car, were their three children-18-year-old Marcos, 16-year-old Karina, and 15-year-old Jessica-and Marina’s best friend, Macrina Ocampo.
The Arredondos and Macrina had just left a wedding in Lompoc and were heading home. They didn’t make it.
What they couldn’t have known is that only minutes before their Fairview Avenue exit, a drunken driver was speeding northbound in their southbound lane, against the traffic.
