Vickie Cano Obituary

Vickie Estrada Cano was granted Angel wings on March 29, 2013. Her final days were spent surrounded by family and friends that Vickie had touched in some way throughout her short, yet memorable life.

Vickie's life would seem too short to many people, but those who were touched by her understood that the quality of existence far exceeds the quantity of time in which one lives. She was always so positive and full of life. Her kind words and positive attitude brought so much joy to her family.

Although this was a shock for all her family, friends and co-workers she gave us all such courage and hope and reminded us of the preciousness of life. She made many wonderful memories with her high school graduating class of 1979 at Channel Islands High School. Vickie enjoyed helping children, she worked for the Oxnard School District for about six years, both at Fremont and Haydock Intermediate Schools where she earned respect and love from all the students and staff. She loved to spend hours outdoors planting flowers especially during her summer breaks. She enjoyed shopping and reading books.

Vickie is survived by her loving family: husband, Artemio Cano; two sons, Artemio Estevan and Eric Cano; daughter, Victoria Cano; two grandchildren, Danny and Mia Cano; daughter-in-law, Maggie Cano; her parents, Francisco and Victoria Estrada; brothers, Rogelio, Jorge, Francisco and Manuel Estrada; and sister, Maria Ramirez.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, April 11, 2013, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Garcia Mortuary, and from 6 to 9 p.m. will continue at Christ The King Church, 535 Cooper Road, Oxnard, Calif. 93030 with a Rosary being recited at 7 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 12, 2013, at Santa Clara Church. Interment will follow at Santa Clara Cemetery in Oxnard.

My deareast Nina. I still can't believe this happen. It feels like a horrible nightmare. You have been there for me since day #1. Growing up wasn't easy and you always seemed to always be there for me. Your soft kind words to my ear are still in my heart. You were such an incredible woman and that I will never forget. I promise to say a prayer and talk to you everyday for the rest of my life. I love you always and forever. Miss you so much!

It was with shock and sadness that I opened the VC Star to find Vickies obituary. I had the pleasure of working with Vickie for several years at Golden West Dental and then JHC Benefits. My heart is truly broken as Vickie was truly one of the most respectable woman I have ever known. She was and always will be a special angel and Im grateful for having her in my life. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of her family.

Years later we reunited and this time I had the pleasure to work with her at Golden West Dental. You will be our special Angel. Hugs & kisses my friend until we meet again. love you!

My heart breaks for the Cano and Estrada family. Your Vickie was a special, one of a kind, genuine lady. She never had a bad thing to say about anybody, and always had a positive view on life. She loved her family tremendously and I remember when she was pregnant with her daughter she was so so happy. It has been a while since I've seen Vickie but I'm truly going to miss that angel here on earth who now is an angel in heaven.

Vickie llego a la Escuela Secundaria Haydock en el 2011. No tuvo que pasar mucho tiempo para cuando estudiantes, padres de familia y empleados en la escuela estuviésemos encantados de tenerla entre nosotros. Su siempre trato amable, cordialidad y profesionalismo eran siempre reflejados en todos. Vickie siempre agradecía hasta por el más insignificante detalle y principalmente daba gracias a Dios porque decía que “cada día era una nueva oportunidad de ser feliz y hacer felices a los demás”.
La Escuela Haydock, nunca volverá a ser la misma sin Vickie, pero estoy seguro que su espíritu siempre permanecerá entre todos nosotros, ya que ella siempre manifestó su complacencia de trabajar aquí.
A la familia Cano y Estrada, mis mas sentido pésame, Dios les de la fortaleza para seguir adelante, y un muy pronto les traiga la paz y resignación.
Vickie, gracias por tanto cuanto nos diste a los que tuvimos el privilegio de conocerte y trabajar contigo. Las lagrimas no son suficientes para reemplazar todo el cariño que nos diste, por eso te mantendremos en nuestros corazones por siempre. Descansa en Paz!
