Ruhman, Ann
Brighton, MI
Her Legacy Ann Elizabeth Ruhman, 66, passed away June 27, 2025. She was born on December 8, 1958, in Tripoli, Libya to Bryan Ruhman and Jean (Hull) Ruhman. Ann married the love of her life, William Webster, on June 29, 1985, in Brighton, Michigan. Ann had a love for traveling and spent 43 years as a travel agent. She also had a career with American Field Service, where she placed exchange students with host families. Ann and her husband Bill hosted 17 exchange students throughout the years as well. Ann was very easy-going and well respected by the students that she hosted. In her down time Ann loved to cross stitch and spend time at her cottage in Canada. Ann was very interested in her family's genealogy and spent time researching her family's history. Ann and Bill live in her family's 150-year-old home and Ann played a big role in the design of remodeling it. Ann was deeply loved by her family and friends and she will be greatly missed.
Her Family Ann will be missed by her husband, William Webster; her children, Geoffrey Webster, Benjamin Webster; and brother, John Ruhman. She is preceded in death by her parents, Bryan and Jean Ruhman; grandmother, Frances Hull; and uncle, George Hull.

I'm so sorry to hear about Ann. She was a wonderful person and friend. I got to know Ann from hosting exchange students with AFS and volunteering with her. So many laughs and smiles shared over the years and she always had such great advice! She will be missed.
