Crystal Bruce Obituary

Crystal Sue Weaver Bruce, 90, Monticello, passed away peacefully Saturday, Nov. 15, 2025, in her home, surrounded by her loving family, after a brief illness.

Sue was born on May 12, 1935, in Stanford, to her late parents James Morgan Weaver and Nellie Buskirk Weaver Kelley. She married the love of her life, Robert H. "Bob" Bruce, in Bloomington, on Aug. 9, 1952.

Sue worked at Purdue University as the Business Office Manager of the Purdue student hospital for 27 years. Sue then served as President of CSS Inc. in Delphi for 10 years, as well as RHC Inc. in Monticello.

Sue loved to keep their houses spotless and clean, and manicured the landscaping around all three homes. She and her husband enjoyed traveling together and wintering in Florida for many years. Family was everything to Sue. She loved them all dearly and looked forward to any time they could all be together. They were her life.

Sue is survived by her husband, Bob Bruce, Monticello; sons, Robert Gregory Bruce (Nina Bau), Monticello; Marc (Rochelle) Bruce, Lafayette; sisters, Sandra Rea, Bloomington, Carolyn (J.R.) Evans, Spencer; grandchildren, Andrea, Rebecca, Ranae, Lindsey (Aspen), Delaney (Nate), and Ethan; and great-grandchildren, Tobey, Haley, Willa, Brady, Ben, Grayson, and Ellis.

She was preceded in death by sisters, Sharon and Marilyn, and brothers-in-law, Carl Rea and Phillip Snodgrass.

Visitation will be Saturday from 11 a.m. until her funeral service at 1 p.m. at Abbott Funeral Home, Inc., Delphi with Rev. Todd Ladd officiating.
