November 2, 1924 - November 19, 2011 Born Edith Irene Ewan in Littleton, Colorado, to native Montanans Susie Mae and Lewis Ewan, she and her siblings were placed in the Montana State Orphans Home after the death of their mother. At age 4, she was adopted by her loving parents, Bert and Gertrude Hind, and was thrilled to be thereafter known as Peggy Lou Hind. The family soon moved to Potrerillos, Chile for six years, where her father was an engineer. After returning to the United States, they divided their time between Montana and Florida. When Peggy was 18, the family moved to Nicaro, Cuba. There, Peggy met the love of her life, Jorge Manuel Guarch, and she adopted Jorge's Cuban family and Cuba as her own. Jorge and Peggy married and lived in Cuba until 1947, when they moved to Miami, Florida, spending nearly a half- century together, and raising their two children, Lynn & "J" Jorge, Jr. The Guarch family never lost their love for Cuba or its people, and from 1960 to 1962, together they played an important role in Operation Pedro Pan, as Jorge met the flights at the airport and Peggy cared for many of the children as guests in her own home. In 1964 Peggy was reunited with her birth siblings in Montana and developed a close relationship with them and their families, which she cherished throughout the rest of her life. In addition to raising her children and caring for the extensive Guarch clan, she also found time for countless hours of volunteering at her children's school. Reentering the work force once her children were older, she retired in 1996 as supervisor of the Dade County Auto Tag Agency mailroom. Peggy, affectionately known by most as "Granny," found the best in every situation, was kind and welcoming to all, and was an eternal optimist. Sweet and gentle until her last breath, she will be deeply missed -- and all who knew her are richer for having had her in their lives. Preceded in death by Jorge in 1991, she is survived by her daughter Lynn Guarch-Pardo (Felix Pardo); her son Jorge M. Guarch Jr. (Delia); five grand- children: Christopher (Emily), Melissa and Jonathan Pardo, and Patricia and Jorge Guarch III, all of Coral Gables, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Funeral mass will be held Wednesday, November 23, 2011 at 11am at St. Kevin Catholic Church, 12525 S.W. 42nd Street, Miami. Interment immediately following at Flagler Memorial Park
