In Loving Memory of Gloria (D’Alessio) Norfleet
Gloria (D’Alessio) Norfleet, a beacon of love and compassion, passed away on December 28, 2023, at the age of 89. Born in Syracuse, NY to Angelo and Fannie D’Alessio, she was the sixth of nine children and the fifth of seven beloved sisters. Gloria's journey led her to marry Clifford Jerry Norfleet, together creating memories in various corners of the world. They lived in Munich, Germany, Endicott NY, Syracuse, NY, and eventually settled in San Jose, CA.
Known for her unparalleled ability to truly listen and connect with others, Gloria possessed a rare gift of making deep connections in mere moments. Her genuine care and warmth touched the hearts of all who had the privilege of knowing her.
Travel was Gloria's passion; she explored numerous national parks, Canadian Provincial parks, and ventured on a memorable European journey to visit cherished friends. She found joy in cross-country train expeditions and immersive Canadian train tours that enriched her adventurous spirit.
An aficionado of music concerts and theatrical performances, Gloria savored moments shared with renowned actors as well as local talents. Her love for television extended to PBS cooking shows, mysteries, comedies, and documentaries that brought many hours of her entertainment.
Gloria leaves behind a legacy cherished by her surviving siblings Stella, Betty, Aggie, and John from the D’Alessio family. She is deeply missed by her loving husband Jerry, son Randy (along with his wife Michele, grandson Austin, and granddaughter Miranda), as well as her daughter Wendi Lopez (and her husband Raul Lopez) along with grandsons Luke and Nicholas (affectionately known as Nico). Her love for them knew no bounds.
The family extends heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate staff at Good Samaritan Hospital and Bridges Hospice. A special mention and deep appreciation goes out to Yorda (Yordanos) for providing three years of dedicated personal care to Gloria with unwavering love.
