Honoring Diane McLaughlan

Family, friends, and neighbors of Diane McLaughlan gathered at the Bellaire Library Community Green Space to honor her memory and dedication to the community. Diane’s granddaughter Grace Schwarzbach, daughter Megan Schwarzbach, and husband Pat McLaughlan (pictured, from left) attended the ceremony where a tree and plaque, donated by PATRONS for Bellaire Parks in Mrs. McLaughlan’s honor, were unveiled. The beloved Bellaire resident and educator passed away in October 2022. She spent most of her 35-year teaching career at Condit Elementary where she established the gifted-and-talented program. After retiring, Diane stayed active volunteering for Friends of Bellaire Library and serving on the educational committee and board of directors at Bellaire United Methodist Church.
