    Mrs. Mclaughlin was my First Grade teacher at Harding.  I have very fond memories of her and am sad to learn of her passing.  She touched countless lives and lives on in the hearts of her former  students.

    Mrs. McLaughlin taught me 1st (or 2nd?) grade at Harding Elementary.  What an outstanding teacher she was to me and my classmates.  My mom (Frances; our librarian) thought the world of her too!  My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.  May God make her memory eternal.

    I am so sorry to hear about Ruth Ann.  She was a lovely person who I knew from Delta Kappa Gamma - Alpha Mu.  She was on one of my committees and if she couldn't be at a meeting to help, she was on the phone with ideas and suggestions.  RIP Ruth Ann, you will be missed.
