Elizabeth Kristine Cruz

Elizabeth Kristine Cruz, age 45, went home to her Lord and Savior on January 23, 2026, at her residence in Davidson County. She was born on July 11, 1980, in Puerto Rico.

Elizabeth was a woman of grace, faith, and deep love for her family. She held her faith close to her heart and lived it daily through kindness, compassion, and service to others. She loved to sing in church, listen to Christian music, read her Bible along with many other books, and found joy in quiet moments of reflection. Elizabeth also cherished creating jewelry with her sister Lisa, planting and gardening, and nurturing beauty wherever she was.

She was a light-spirited soul who welcomed everyone with a warm smile and an open heart. Her gentle presence brought comfort, and her love left a lasting imprint on all who knew her.

Elizabeth is preceded in death by her precious daughter, Noelle Elizabeth Cruz, and her grandparents, Blanca Esther Colón and Roberthson Gabriel Colón Sr.

She is survived by her beautiful mother, Elizabeth Esther Colón; her brothers José Cruz, Carlos Cruz, Victor Knoe, and her little brother Carlos Cruz; her sisters Lisa Ramos (Ismael), Carla Cruz, Margelia Cruz, and Josefa Cruz; her beloved nephews Ben, David, and Isaiah Ramos; her uncle Roberthson Colón Jr. (Dorcas); and her precious fur baby, Brooklyn Cruz.

Elizabeth’s love, faith, and gentle spirit will be deeply missed and forever cherished.

The family respectfully requests that services remain private.
