Zulema Yoma
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zulema Fátima Yoma (born 1938) is a former First Lady of Argentina.
A native of Nonogasta in La Rioja Province, Fatima Yoma was married for twenty-five years (1966–91) to Carlos Saúl Menem who served as President of Argentina from July 1989 to December 1999. They had two children, a son, Carlos Saúl Facundo Menem Yoma, who died in a helicopter crash in 1995 (which Yoma felt was politically-motivated),[1] and a daughter, Zulema María Eva Menem, who, starting in 1991, fulfilled the role of First Lady at formal occasions for the remaining eight years of her father's presidency.[2]
