Gloria Jean (Garfield) George, 81, of Syracuse, passed away peacefully on June 3, 2025, at Community Upstate Hospital. She was born in Syracuse to the late Francis Garfield and Rosa (Miller) Garfield. Gloria worked as a waitress for many years. She enjoyed being around her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
