November 19, 1985 – October 5, 2026
Tiffany Marie Cruz, 40, passed away on Monday, October 5, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of creativity and laughter.
Born in Dallas, TX, on November 19, 1985, Tiffany spent many years living in Bedford and Bloomington, Indiana. She was a creative person who loved the ocean, music, reading poetry, drawing, and painting. She had a special love for animals, cats in particular, and an innate ability to find humor in everyday situations. A true Scorpio at heart, she was at times very determined, and other times deeply emotional, feeling everything with a quiet intensity.
Above all else, Tiffany loved her children very deeply. Through every season of life, she held fierce love for both her son and daughter, viewing them as the absolute best parts of her world.
In recent years, Tiffany faced difficult seasons with her mental health. She fought these challenges with bravery, and her family takes comfort in knowing that she has finally found the true and PERFECT peace she always wanted and deserved.
She is survived by her son, Jose Cruz IV, and his father, Joe Cruz III; and her daughter, London; she also leaves behind her mother, Dawn Marie Rustom; and her grandmother, Joyce Matchett.
Following the family’s wishes, cremation will take place. In lieu of a traditional funeral service, family and friends will gather in the near future for a celebration of life– a time to share the laughter she gave, remember the art she created, and honor the beautiful spirit that will live on in their hearts forever.
The staff of Ferguson-Lee Chapel of Thorne Family Funeral Homes is honored to have been entrusted with the care of Tiffany M. Cruz and her family during this difficult time. Memories and condolences may be shared and flowers ordered at www.FergusonLee.com.
