Born in 1911 at home in Norfolk County, she was the daughter of the late Santo Cogliandro and Pacifica Bellantino. Mary graduated with her sister, Grace, from Great Bridge High School in 1928. After going to business college, she taught school and helped her father and brothers, Frankie, Johnnie and Charlie, on the farm until 1942. On Valentine's Day 1942, she married her love, Ernest. She has two children, Ernie and Billy. She received a four-year teaching degree from Longwood College in 1955. She deeply loved her students and colleagues. After retiring from teaching and Ernest's death in 1970, she married David Harris and traveled the world. Mary loved her nieces and nephews like her own children; several nieces consider her their mother. Her brothers were her pals, her sister herself. She thought of Mary Paul, her daughter-in-law, as her own daughter. Rest in peace Momma, we all love you and know that you are with us. A graveside service will be conducted at 10 a.m. Saturday at St. Mary 's Catholic Cemetery by Fr. Christian J. Haydinger. Visitation will be today from 7 to 8 p.m. at Hollomon-Brown Funeral Home, Indian River Chapel. The family requests that the only gifts, flowers or memorials will be the gifts of your self, your love and your memories. May God bless you and yours as he blessed us.
