Bruce died at the age of 86 in the Bronx, New York on April 2, 1946.[10] She was buried at the Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorne, New York.[1] Later that month, Hedda Hopper reported that Bruce's entire estate had been left to her longtime friends and sometime co-stars Lillian and Dorothy Gish.[11][12]
