Obituary for Cyrus D. Washburn
SOUTH GLENS FALLS
Cyrus D. Washburn, 87, passed away on Friday, May 6, 2022 at the Schenectady Center in Schenectady, NY.
Born March 9, 1935 in Fort Edward, NY, he was the son of the late Harold and Wavell (Hurd) Washburn.
Cyrus proudly served his country in the United States Navy from 1954-1958, and was also in the Naval Reserves until 1962.
On November 8, 1958, Cyrus married the love of his life, Janice DeGarmo at the South Glens Falls United Methodist Church, and together they raised their family until her passing on May 13, 2021.
Cyrus was employed for many years as a waste treatment operator at Finch Pruyn in Glens Falls. He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed turkey hunting and fishing.

A private graveside service with military honors will be conducted at the Gansevoort Cemetery.
