In Loving Memory of Magdalena Vinton

Magdalena Vinton went to be with the Lord on October 30, 2026, surrounded by the warmth, love, and comfort of her family. She was 85 years old. Magdalena was born on October 21, 1941, in San Antonio, Texas, where she spent her life building lasting memories and meaningful relationships with those she loved.

Magdalena graduated from Fox Tech High School in 1961 and dedicated much of her working life to caring for others as a Certified Nurse Aide. Her compassion and caring nature were reflected in her work and in the love she shared with those around her. In 1988, she married Alfredo B. Vinton and retired from her career, embracing a new chapter of life centered on her marriage and family. They shared many years together until his passing in 2019.

Throughout her 85 years, Magdalena treasured the memories she created with her family. She was a generous woman who gave freely, even when she had little herself. Her kindness and willingness to share what she had were a reflection of her giving heart. Above all, her faith in Christ, her children, and her extended family held the most special places in her heart. Her love, generosity, strength, and presence touched the lives of those around her, and she will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Magdalena was preceded in death by her parents, Juan N. Mireles and Maria (Rodriguez) Mireles; her beloved husband, Alfredo B. Vinton; her daughter, Magdalena Flores; her stepson, Alfredo Vinton Jr.; her brother, Ramon Mireles; and her sisters, Margaret Gonzales and Beatriz Barrera.

She leaves behind to cherish her memory her loving sons, Frank Flores Jr. and his wife, Cynthia Flores, and David Flores; her daughter, Debra Flores; her stepsons, John Paul (JP) Vinton and his wife, Hilda Vinton; Richard Vinton and his wife, Leticia Vinton; Brian Vinton and Johnny Vinton; and her stepdaughters, Nicki Vinton and Jane Vinton.

She is also survived by her granddaughters, Victoria Lyons and Felicia Flores; her grandsons, Brandon Fuller and Austin Fuller; and her two great-grandchildren, Charles Lyons and Madison Renee Lyons. She is also survived by Cynthia Vinton, the wife of her late stepson, Alfredo Vinton Jr.

Magdalena leaves behind her loving sisters, Theresa Morales, Soledad Duran, her twin sister, Maria Luisa Pena, Juanita Alonzo, Guadalupe Barcena, Hortencia Cardenas, and Amelia Hernandez; and her brothers, Silvestre Mireles and Juan Manuel Mireles. She also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will forever treasure her memory.

Though her presence will be deeply missed, her love, compassion, generosity, and kindness, along with the beautiful memories she created and the faith she held so dear, will forever remain in the hearts of those she leaves behind.
