Two employees die in accidents

By on March 14, 2010

Two University employees died over the school’s spring break — one overseas and one in Athens.

University researcher Efrat Gamliel-Atinsky, 39, was killed last Sunday in a car wreck in Israel. 

She died along with her mother Esther Gamliel and her children, Noam, 5, and 9-month-old Ya’ari, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

According to the AJC, Gamliel-Atinsky’s car was involved in a four-vehicle crash in the Negev desert.

A memorial service will be held today at 7:30 p.m. at the Chabad House on Lumpkin Street, the Athens Banner-Herald reported.

Daniel Patrick Mammola, 27, died Tuesday after sustaining injuries related to a scooter accident near International Drive in Athens.

Mammola, an information technology professional in the University’s Hugh Hodgson School of Music, lost control of his scooter Monday, landing on the sidewalk, according to Athens-Clarke County Police.

Mammola was a 2007 graduate of the University.
