Mary Coladonato

(she/her/hers)

 Mary Coladonato is a long time resident of Lansdowne with an adoring husband of 33 years and 3 incredible daughters who all attended preschool at First Presbyterian. Originally from Lancaster, Mary is the middle child of 11 which explains her unusual calmness in the face of life's daily chaos. Mary can't decide whether the ocean or the mountains are her favorite vacation destination, so she uses her leisure time to either lounge on the beach or camp in the PA woods. She is a diehard Phillies fan working hard to change Jonathan's allegiance to the most lovable team in baseball.

 Favorite Bands: U2, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen

 Favorite Movies: Field of Dreams, Jesus Christ Superstar
