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.

Gloria is survived by her sons, Edward "Eddie" Harrington, William "Buzz" (Tina) Harrington, and Robert "R.J." George; her daughters, Grace (Russell) Belcamino, Lucille (Jay) Soulia, Sheila (Gary) George; along with her "Greatest Blessings", many grandchildren and great-grandchildren who truly defined who she was, they were her absolute everything; she is also survived by her two sisters, Helen and Patricia; along with many nieces and nephews; and her beloved best friend for over 40 years, Wendy Varre, whom we owe many thanks for her support throughout the years.
