Bonham, Texas -- Carol Elizabeth (Ferguson) Bruce was born December 4, 1948 in Bonham, Texas, the daughter of Marshall Hibby Ferguson, Jr. and Ella Mae McDowell Ferguson.  She was a 1967 graduate of Bonham High School. 

Carol’s career spanned a number of positions including Texas Instruments in Sherman and MHMR in Bonham and Greenville.  However, her greatest accomplishment was her years spent as a caregiver.  Her kind and loving spirit made her an asset to all of her patients. 

At age 6, Carol began her musical career playing the piano at church.  She played with a number of country music bands in the area and received several awards from the Texoma Music Association.  

Carol loved to travel; just mention “Go” and she was packed and ready.  She was a member of Living Word Church of God in Bonham where she played piano and organ with the praise team.  Her greatest joy was spending time with family, playing the piano and singing.  Name a song and she could play it, without music, and make it sound better.

Carol’s beautiful smile, wit and outgoing personality will be missed by all who knew her.  This will live on through her children and extended family.

Carol is survived by daughters, Robin Davenport of Randolph, Texas and Marsha Ferguson and husband, Jubal Dudley of Denison, Texas; sister, Phyllis Brewer of Bonham, Texas; brother, Phillip Ferguson and wife, Sandra of Ravenna, Texas; 3 grandchildren, Kimberly Delgado and husband, Benito of Lamasco, Texas, Tracy Richardson and husband, Travis of Greenville, Texas and James Richard Dodson and wife, Sarah of Greenville, Texas, numerous great grandchildren and great great grandchildren, extended family and a multitude of friends.

Carol was preceded in death by her parents, husband, James Bruce, and son, Bruce Titsworth.

A visitation will be held at 10:00 a.m Saturday, June 28, 2025 in Cooper-Sorrells Funeral Home, in Bonham, followed by a graveside service at Willow Wild Cemetery, Bonham, Texas.  Pastor Eddie Prince will officiate.
