Victoria Martinez White, a longtime resident of Fillmore, CA, unexpectedly called to heaven on July 21, 2025. She was one of 9 children, known to many as Vicky, born July 2, 1938, in Santa Paula, CA to Alejandro and Antonia Martinez. She graduated from Santa Paula High School.
Vicky worked in the service industry in Ventura County for many decades that included the Limoneria and Calavo Packing Houses in Santa Paula and the Fillmore Convalescent Center. She retired after 16 years of service at age 75 from Community Memorial Hospital in Ventura.
