Mary Cozzolino, age 99, of Benton Harbor, died peacefully Tuesday, August 1, 2017 in The Willows Assisted Living facility. She was born March 7, 1918 in Chicago, Illinois to Anthony and Josephine (Landi) Antonelli, Sr. Her family moved to a farm in Benton Harbor in the early 1930’s. Mary worked in the kitchen and cafeteria for the Heath Company and in her husband’s business - Subco Corporation - Benton Harbor. She volunteered in the thrift shop of Saints John and Bernard Parish. She enjoyed her family, reading, cooking, church and walking to Stevensville from her home with her close friend Barb Brunke. Not surprisingly, Italian food was her expertise. Her family remembers her homemade pastas and her mean spaghetti sauce. Mary will be greatly missed by family and friends. She is survived by two sons, Rocco (Arlene) Graziano of Stevensville, Enrico (Linda) Cozzolino of Cassopolis; ten grandchildren, Marcia Miller, Rachelle Wyble, Angela Cozzolino, Joey Watson, Lori Watson, Lori (Robert) Deitz, Cindy (Brian) Bennett, Kelly (Richard) Stroup Taylor, Jeffrey (Amy) Hines, Robert (Susan DePelecyn) Hines, Jr.; nineteen great grandchildren; two sisters in law, Lois Antonelli and Donna Antonelli; and a host of nieces and nephews.
