The matriarch of a popular Donore family, Mary's late son Joseph played for St Mary's and the Joey Clinton Cup - which is presented to underage winning teams - honours his memory. Joey was awarded the Young Player of the Year award in 1985 and was a member of the St Mary's team that reached the Meath IFC final in 1985. Her other sons, Michael, James, Oliver and Henry, all played at different levels for the Donore club while Michael and Oliver are former committee members. Oliver acted as a selector when St Mary's captured A League football honours in 2010. Mary's granddaughters - Ceire Cudden and Siobhan Clinton - are continuing the family tradition and currently serve as secretary and treasurer respectively of the club.
