Angie Lara Obituary

Aug. 25, 1959 - Sept. 29, 2013
Angie Adams Lara received her wings and became an angel up in heaven on Sept. 29, after a courageous battle with lung cancer. She was born Aug. 25, 1959 in Fairfield, Calif, and spent most of her years growing up and living in Vacaville before moving to Stockton for several years. Then more recently to Dixon where she resided with her family as they fought this battle together.
Angie is survived by her husband, Ray Lara; her children, Rosemary (Manuel) Caamal, Victoria (Tim) Zickowski, Victor (Frances) Zepeda, and Alicia Zepeda which were fathered by her previous husband, Victor Zepeda. She is also survived by her stepchildren, Sonya (Juan) Ibarra, Jessica Lara and Raymond Lara. She was also cherished and loved by 23 grandchildren and four great grandkids. She also leaves behind her mother, Ruth "Cuca" Adams; her brother, Manuel Adams; sisters, Mary Jane Tomelloso, Lupe Estrada, Josie Lara, Virginia Miranda, and Rebecca Hernandez. She was preceded in death by her father, Manuel Adams.
Angie was a free spirit that loved life and lived each day to the fullest. She was a true fighter that put on a brave beautiful smile everyday. A smile that is already missed and will never be forgotten by so many that loved her. 
Services will be held at St. Mary's Church in Vacaville on Friday, Oct. 4, at 9:30 a.m., and will be followed by burial at the Vacaville-Elmira Cemetery.

Miss you sister know there are little things that you do to let us know you are still here with us always. Yes Rosemary she knows that there are times that she needs to send us little messages to let us know she is fine. This does not stop the hurt in my heart the tears that I cry for her she is so deep in my heart soul and mind always till we meet again. I just think everyday that I know she is not suffering anymore but she was the strongest person I know with her battle with cancer. Now she is a peace but I miss her dearly but she is tucked in my heart soul and mind. Love you sister.

Sister, I know you were with us celebrating your 55th birthday in Jackson. I promised you last year that we would go to Jackson for your birthday and we did. When Mom released the balloons we know you received them because they went straight up into the heavens. We all felt such peace knowing you received our loving messages. Then we looked up an Red Hawk was flying around in a circle. We all knew that was you saying you were free as a bird. No more pain, no more worries just happiness and freedom. Mom was so glad that we were able to complete our promise to you. I miss you every day. I know you are listening and watching all that happens here. I will be seeing you in my dreams sissy. Thank you for your unconditional love not everyone can love people like that. You never were judge mental, you always had that live and let live attitude. Until we meet again. Love your little sister

Today I listen to the song that they made a video with pictures of you. The words that are saying your in heaven - I can't stop from crying my best friend. Its like why don't you just come back and make things ok again? Tears rolling down my cheeks- I know you can't. I want to say I'm ok and I'm being strong but you know those are lies and you still see me crying-its because "I Miss You So Much Angie". One day at a time comadra one day at a time. I Love and Miss You Everyday. Your Comadra Nonnie

Aunt Angie,
I still can't believe you are gone. It doesn't seem real. Sometimes I feel like your still living in Stockton and I will see you on the holidays.But the reality of it is I know that I won't. This is going to be a rough first holiday season for us all not having you here. But I know you will be here in spirit.I love and Miss you so much. You were a big part of all my life growing up. I remember all the summers I was with you and the girls when school would be out and my mom had to work. You would rescue me from being home with my brother and all his friends.") You used to take us to the creek and catch polly wogs and take us to the parks or we would just be there at the house playing nintendo or watching days of our lives. I remember the times I used to have to go to your house in the mornings when my mom had to work early. You used to brush my long hair and pull the heck out of it.") Oh yeah and as i always reminded you...i remember when you stole my "blankie" from me and I never seen it again! ha ha. But most of all I will just always remember you always being there throughout my childhood, all the way to my teenage years. You went from toting me around when i was little to just watching me pull up to your house in my tercel and take off now toting your girls around.") I miss you and your crazy care free self. I am so greatful for all the memories and times I had with you. I am so greatful to have had an aunt like you in my life.
Love and Miss you,
Maria

Mom I couldn't sleep, so I thought I would write you a little something. I heard your song again today and went to see you. It reminds me
Everyday how much you are loved and missed. How strong and beautiful you were all the way to the end. The kids came this time and I was strong. I know you are dancing and singing in the angels choir because that is you!

Ma Angie,
Where do I begin? You were so much like my own mom. You were a second mom to me! Although you were strict you also allowed your kids to have fun and enjoy life. You were Strong and Never Gave Up. Your personality was contagious. Your smile as big as the sun! I will never forget you, you're in my heart and I know you are watching over all of us especially your kids and grandkids. Your children took care of you just like God wanted them too. May you rest well in heaven and dance till you can't no more. God Bless Your Soul and know your legacy will live on. And Someone better know how to make her tortillas and breakfast burritos! Lol Muah I miss you!
