Family of Kristy Dawn Ruff

This morning we had to say goodbye but not forever to our friend Kristy Dawn Ruff. Our hearts are forever broken at the passing of our friend, mother, and co-worker.

Kristy was the most amazing person to love and be around. She had a way of loving people unlike anyone that I’ve ever met. She would walk through fire for her 2 daughters Allianna and Micah and her fiancé Jess Vincil. We are all devastated.

Kristy was the right hand woman to Doug Patterson for many years helping him manage restaurants at Tanasi and Doug’s Place in Tellico Village, The Patio in Madisonville, Lakehouse Grill in Vonore, and had recently started working with him at Countryside in Vonore. If you ever had the pleasure of being served by Kristy, then you know she was top notch!

Due to her sudden passing, we are hoping to raise funds to help her family with funeral expenses. All money raised will go directly to this.
