Reverend Steve Horn, Pastor of First Baptist Church of Lafayette, will conduct the funeral services. Mrs. Werger, a resident of Scott, LA, was the daughter of the late William Delmar Miles and the former Margaret Mae Scott. She was born in Austin, Texas, the eldest of eight children. Known to her family and friends as "Faye," she grew up in Austin where she met and married her husband. They relocated to Nebraska and then Wyoming where they raised their four children, as well as caring for her youngest brother, Sam. They ran the family farm near Torrington, Wyoming until they moved to south Louisiana in 1970. Mrs. Werger resided in Lafayette for the last 40 years, and worked in retail for a number of years before retiring. After retirement, Mrs. Werger enjoyed spending her time with her siblings and friends, as well as caring for her garden and bird watching. Most of all, she loved being "Nanny" to her grandchildren, and took any opportunity possible to talk to them on the phone or have them in her home. She was very proud of each of them, and will be remembered as a loving and encouraging mother, grandmother and friend. She is survived by one daughter, Judy W. Wallis and husband Richard Wallis, Sr. of Lafayette, LA; three sons, Jerry Werger and wife Ann of Odessa, TX, Joe Werger and wife Dawanna of Scott, LA, and Jorden Werger and wife Fern of Sunset, LA; eight grandchildren, April Gray, Crystal Jacobs, Mandi Wallis, Andrea Wallis, Richard Miles Wallis, Jr., Haylie Werger, Jason Werger, and Jessica Werger; two great grandchildren, Hunter and Hannah Gray; and one brother, Wilbur Miles of Lafayette, LA. She was preceded in death by her parents, three sisters, and three brothers.
