Ann Marie Webster, 74, of Copake, NY, passed away on Saturday, September 13, 2025 at Berkshire Medical Center with her husband and daughter by her side. Born on September 28, 1950 at Fairview Hospital she was a lifelong resident of Copake, NY. Raised by her father Robert Wolcott, his wife Beatrice Wolcott, and her grandparents Ivan and Katie Wolcott. A 1968 graduate of Roeliff Jansen School and then Mildred Elley Business School; going on to work more than 25 years for New York State. Ann married her high school sweetheart, Rich Webster and celebrated 56 years of marriage this September. She enjoyed traveling and spending time with her loving family, cooking her favorite recipes, telling stories, smiling her incredible smile and sharing many laughs together – she had a great laugh.
She faced many challenges and always persevered, her strength, determination and grit allowed her to win all of the medical battles she faced until the final one. She fought hard and held on until her loving daughter made it to her side.
Ann leaves behind her loving husband Rich, daughter, Krista Marie Reiss and her husband Tony; her grandchildren Ali and Max. She also leaves behind her brother Michael Wolcott, his wife Norma and their children Jessica, Mark and Greg.
She will be greatly missed and we are comforted in knowing that she is with her beloved grandmother and watching over us always.
