There were big celebrations at an east Donegal hardware store today when one of its most loyal staff members celebrated 50 years service.
Killygordon woman, Mary McMenamin, has now worked with three generations of the McCreary family and she has no plans to retire.
One of Ireland’s oldest continuously run family businesses, Topline McCrearys was established at Crossroads in 1860. Darren McCreary is the fifth generation of the clan at the helm and made a special presentation to Mary earlier (main pic).
“Congratulations to Mary, she has been with us for 50 years today,” Topline McCrearys posted on their Facebook page.

“She has worked with three generations of the McCreary family. There have been some changes over the last 50 years. We want to thank Mary from the bottom of our hearts for 50 years of fantastic service, and hopefully a good few more to come.”
Congratulations Mary!

Mary was allowed a short break to get her picture taken with her Topline McCrearys colleagues!
