Ruffin, daughter-in-law Brandi, and daughter Lee Ruffin; grandchildren, Chase Ruffin, Taylor Ruffin, Harleigh Ruffin, and Katherine Brunner. Cremation Services were provided by French Mortuary Westside Chapel. The family would like to thank all of Dottie's friends, doctors, nurses and assisted living staff that worked so hard throughout the years to help her through the perils of her Bi-Polar Disease. Being Bi-Polar is a devastating disease that not only affects families and friendships; it weighs down the victims' heart and soul. In lieu of flowers the family asks that donations be made in Dottie's name to the UNM Psychiatric Center c/o Jennifer Sena ATTN: Bi-Polar Research, 2600 Marble NE, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87131, (505) 272-2800.
