Werner Fredrick Gommeringer, 88, passed away on November 28, 2023 in Phoenix, Arizona. He was born on January 11, 1935, in Viking, Alberta, Canada. Werner was a motivator and a people person, always positive; with a sense of humor that served him well throughout his life. Werner grew up working hard on the family farm, where they made hay, raised and sold pigs, cattle, and cream. As a young man, he left the farm and ventured into the oil fields, facing treacherous sub-zero temperatures and locating oil fields by night, often driving over frozen lakes. Afterward, he tested his sales skills in real estate until he and his wife, Erna, discovered Amway through a good friend. This opportunity was a natural fit for Werner, a hard-working, people-loving salesman. Together, Werner and Erna climbed the ranks of the Amway Corporation, reaching the top 1% and earning numerous awards and trips along the way. They retired in 1990. Once retired, Werner enjoyed exploring both the United States and Canada with his beloved wife, Erna in their motor home. They cherished their time together, making memories and embracing new experiences. When home, they loved spending time with their 3 young grandchildren. Werner is survived by his daughter, Dana, and her husband, Dale; son, Duane; grandchildren: Cassie (Greg) Petriekis, Danielle (David) Mesri, and Josh Cavan; great-grandsons: Jameson Petriekis, Lawson Petriekis, Walker Petriekis, and Jack Mesri; brother, Bernard Gommeringer; sisters: Joan Arychuk, Tilda Dafoe, and Rose Marie Jordan, as well as numerous nephews and nieces. He was preceded in death by his wife, Erna Gommeringer; parents: Fredrick and Flora Gommeringer; and brother, Walter Gommeringer. A memorial service will be held at 1:00 pm on Thursday, December 14, at Paradise Memorial Gardens in Scottsdale, Arizona. The ceremony will be conducted by Randy and Freida Vogel of Hansen's Mortuary, located in Scottsdale.Show more
