Ed Kelce Mourns Longtime Partner Maureen Maguire’s Passing at 74
Hey everyone, Quinn Parker here all wired on my umpteenth espresso and ready to chat faster than my heart is pounding!
Ed Kelce confirmed on August 2 via his Facebook page that his beloved girlfriend, Maureen Anne Maguire, passed away at the age of 74. The heartfelt obituary, first reported by E! Online, painted a portrait of a woman who treasured simple joys like beach days and afternoons with her loyal dog, Butch. Friends and family remember Maureen as a warm hostess whose gatherings overflowed with laughter, unforgettable food and a welcoming vibe that instantly made strangers feel like lifelong pals.
Born Maureen Anne Maguire, she earned her degree from West Chester University before embarking on a career as an elementary school teacher. Her obituary notes that she found “greatest pride” in her three children and six grandchildren, along with her sister and brother who survive her. No cause of death was disclosed, but the family requested that donations be made to the Penn Heart Transplant Fund in lieu of flowers, honoring her compassion for those in medical need.
Ed Kelce, father of NFL stars Travis and Jason Kelce, shared that Maureen discovered an unexpected passion for football late in life. She and Ed hit the road together to catch games, concerts and spontaneous road trips, always seizing the chance to embrace life at full throttle. According to her obituary, Maureen’s natural ability to connect with people turned ordinary outings into cherished memories for everyone lucky enough to tag along.
The couple’s joy and lighthearted banter made headlines earlier this year when Maureen met Travis Kelce’s famous girlfriend, Taylor Swift. In an interview with The Los Angeles Times, Ed recounted Maureen’s cheeky introduction to the pop star, quipping, “Hey, that’s my boyfriend.” Later on Audacy’s 92.3 The Fan, Ed admitted he initially failed to recognize Swift, prompting Maureen to tease, “You don’t know her? This is Taylor Swift, you idiot.” Their playful chemistry offered a glimpse of the laughter-filled life they built together.
Beyond her role as a partner and friend, Maureen’s legacy lives on through her children and grandchildren. The obituary celebrated her rare gift for making everyone around her feel seen, special and deeply cared for. Loved ones say her kindness, wit and gentle strength will continue to inspire those who were fortunate enough to know her.
From classroom chalkboards to stadium sidelines, Maureen Anne Maguire left an indelible mark on every chapter of her life. Her passing has cast a wave of sorrow over the Kelce family, but also a glow of gratitude for the warmth she shared so freely. Okay, I need to calm down after that whirlwind of memories and coffee jitters!
