| Published in Today's News Herald on May 9, 2021 - Lake Havasu City, Arizona - Elizabeth Ann Wergin died at her home January 14, 2021 after a courageous battle with COVID 19 and its accompanying trials. Elizabeth was known to her friends as Betsy, and was born January 2, 1941 in Bartlesville, Oklahoma to Jack and Francis Tarner. She graduated from Bartlesville High School and attended Oklahoma State University earning a degree in Home Economics. She married Larry Wergin and joined him as his career took the family across the Midwest and West. Together, Betsy and Larry built their family around a love for the outdoors, a passion for God and family, and an admiration for books. Betsy had a good eye for art and loved pottery. Her eclectic coffee cup collection, passion for good books and good music, and rousing discussions on history and the social/political scene are some of the things her family will remember about her. She was an educated woman with broad interests and had the ability to discuss issues from many points of view. Larry preceded her in death by a few days. They were married 59 years. She is survived by their children Barry and his wife Janice of Wyoming, Rand and his wife Vanessa of South Dakota, and Karin Moglia and her husband John of Michigan. Her extended family includes 10 grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. Memorial donations may be sent to Mt Olive Lutheran Church in Lake Havasu, Arizona. Her family requests donations for Betsy and Larry's favorite ministry in the church: the Wood Working Shop. |
