In Memoriam – Gloria Madrid-Flores

It is with a great deal of sadness that we share with our Vanguard family the passing of one of our most recent Vanguard Hall of Fame inductees, Gloria Madrid-Flores. Gloria passed away on August 4, 2024, surrounded by her family. She was a wonderful woman, who has given so much to the Vanguard organization, and she will be greatly missed.

Gloria and her husband, John, began their involvement with the Santa Clara Vanguard (SCV) in 1979 when their son, Joey, joined the corps.

That then developed into other volunteer opportunities along the way, which they embraced to the fullest, always happy to lend a hand.
