Obituary: Maureen Maguire, Longtime Partner of Ed Kelce, Passes Away at 74
Maureen Maguire, the longtime partner of Ed Kelce, father of NFL players Travis and Jason Kelce, has passed away at the age of 74. Her funeral was held on August 7, 2025, at St. John Vianney Catholic Church in Gladwyne, Pennsylvania [1][2].
The cause of Maureen's death was not disclosed in the obituary or related reports. The Kelce family, including Ed Kelce, their son Jason, and Jason's wife, attended the funeral, indicating a close family connection. Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift were absent due to Travis's NFL training commitments but are known to be closely connected to Ed Kelce and Maureen [1][2].
Maureen was described in the obituary as a devoted mother and a woman with impeccable taste. She became interested in football later in life after her relationship with Ed Kelce. The obituary also mentions that she is survived by three children, six grandchildren, her brother John, and her sister Loretta [1].
The obituary published by Stretch Funeral Home in the suburbs of Philadelphia concludes by stating that Maureen's kindness, wit, and gentle strength left a lasting impression on everyone who knew her. A funny story shared by Ed Kelce about their first meeting with Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce's girlfriend, highlights the laughter and adventures Maureen shared with Ed and their dog Butch.
In another interaction, Ed struggled to remember Taylor's name, and Maureen had to remind him that it was Taylor Swift. During their first meeting, Taylor laughed at Maureen's joke about being her boyfriend [1].
The family has requested donations to the Penn Heart Transplant Fund in lieu of flowers [1]. However, no information about donations or donation requests appears in the sources [1][2].
