Hermine came to America to act as a nanny for her cousin’s family in 1958. Liking the USA much, she decided to make it her home. She married Robert Guard and they made their home in Chicago until moving to Flagstaff in 1984. While in Chicago, Hermine worked as a waitress for the Yacht Club and the Ritz Carlton. In Flagstaff she worked for Kmart.
Hermine devoted her life to helping others. She made over 100 baby afghans out of donated yarn and donated these beautiful blankets to the Hope Crisis Center. She was referred to as “The Yarn Artist”. It gave Hermine great pleasure to share her baking with others. For years she walked Buffalo Park on a daily basis. To know her was to love her.
