Ruth Ann (Beal) Coatney

Ruth Ann (Beal) Coatney, age 79 of Halls Crossroads passed away on June 3, 2020. Preceded in death by parents Britt B. Beal, Sr. and Ruth “Cas” Walker Beal; daughter Tina Renee (Coatney) Belz; son-in-law Paul Belz, Jr.; brothers James and Britt “BB” Beal Jr. Survived by William (Bill) Coatney, devoted daughter Donna (Coatney) Currie and husband Stuart Currie; grandchildren Hayden Currie, Landon Currie, Savannah Belz, Justin (Rachael) Belz; great-grandson Calum Belz; and brother William “Boyd” Beal as well as several nieces and nephews, cousins, and a host of loyal, life-long friends. She was a faithful member of North Knoxville Baptist Church. She had a love for travel and shopping; was a loyal UT Vol fan; enjoyed a good joke; and was a serious card player (and if you were her partner, you better be too). Ruth Ann was the owner of Coatney’s Beauty Salon for 53 years and retired from the University of Tennessee Medical Center. Donna wishes to extend her sincere gratitude to her family, friends, neighbors, and church family for their many acts of care and love during Mom’s illness. A special thanks to Dr. David Aljadir and the staff of UT Cancer Center. Their care, along with her determination and unwavering spirit, afforded us extra years that we will forever cherish. The family will receive friends on Friday June 5, 2020 at North Knoxville Baptist Church 217 W Oldham Avenue Knoxville, Tn from 3:00pm-8:00pm with a short eulogy and prayer to follow at 8:00pm. Family and friends will meet at Eastview Memorial Gardens on Saturday June 6, 2020 at 9:45am for a 10:00am Graveside Service officiated by Pastor Joe Emmert. Pallbearer’s will be Stuart Currie, Hayden Currie, Landon Currie, Alan Beal, John Jennings, and Joseph Motto. Online condolences can be made at www.mynattfh.com.
