Briton Elizabeth Rivers-Rulman, 66, of Montague, passed away Saturday, September 3, 2022. She was born June 1, 1956, in Seattle, Washington, the daughter of James and Marian (Mills) Rivers.

Upon graduating from Interlake High School in Bellevue, WA, in 1974, Briton worked as a senior claims adjuster for St. Paul/Traveler's Insurance Company. She held this job until retiring in 1996. After retirement, Briton spent considerable time in service of others. Her volunteer endeavors included classroom/school assistance at St. Mark Catholic School in Shoreline, WA, Eucharistic Ministry for homebound members of St. Elizabeth Seton Catholic Church in Carmel, IN, and early childhood development/reading assistance at St. Mary's Early Childhood Center in Indianapolis, IN. In addition to these volunteer positions, Briton served as club secretary for the Rotary Club of Northeast Indianapolis from 2014-2017.

Briton's personal interests included music, reading, sports, fitness, the outdoors, and every one of her many pets. Aside from the perpetual suffering that is the life of every Seattle Mariners fan, she was an ever-present and avid supporter of her children's athletic pursuits. As her children grew older, she became a full-time chauffeur, often ferrying them to baseball tournaments and camps all around the United States. Her enthusiasm and support for her children's interests was unparalleled; her personal interests always paled in comparison to the devotion she showed as a mother.

In her final years, she was able to realize her lifelong dream of living on the water, and she enjoyed this life to the fullest possible extent. With her husband, Bruce, she spent many hours walking, relaxing, and enjoying beautiful sunsets on the beach at her Lake Michigan cottage.

Throughout her life, Briton's infectious smile, sense of humor, and graciousness had a defined effect on all who came to know her. She was deeply-loved by all of her family and friends, and she will be dearly-missed.

Briton is survived by: her husband of 29 Years, Bruce Rulman; children, Tristan (Erin) Rivers and Connor (Christina) Rulman; father, James Rivers; and siblings, Jim Rivers, Corey Rivers, and Dan Rivers.

Briton was preceded in death by: her mother, Marian Rivers; and son, Shaun Phillips.

Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 1:00 PM, Friday, September 9, 2022, at St. Joseph Catholic Church, 2380 West Jackson Road, Hart, MI 49420, with Fr. Phillip Sliwinski presiding. Visitation will be held Friday from 12:00 PM until the time of services at the church.
