The funeral of Ellen Clifford - the mother of Kerry football stars David and Paudie Clifford - has heard how her family “miss her so much when it comes to football but it is at the centre of our family she will be missed most.”
Ellen, who comes from a strong GAA family in Ballymacelligott, and lived in Two Mile School in Killarney with her family, had been battling an illness for some time and passed away peacefully last Saturday.
Chief celebrant Fr Tom Mooney told mourners, including Ellen’s husband Dermot sons Paudie and David, daughter Shelly, dad Pat, her sisters and brothers, nieces and nephews and grandson Oigi and many relatives and friends at the Requiem Mass held in the Prince of Peace Church in Fossa, that “family was everything to her.”
