The Kelce family is experiencing profound grief following a devastating loss.
Ed Kelce, the father of renowned NFL players Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce, publicly shared an obituary on his Facebook page on August 2, revealing the passing of his girlfriend, Maureen Anne Maguire, who was 74 years old at the time of her death.
According to the obituary, “Maureen found joy in life’s simple pleasures.” It detailed her love for the beach, particularly the shore, and highlighted her deep affection for dogs. This connection to nature and animals was a significant part of her character.
Described as a “natural hostess,” the obituary elaborated on Maureen’s remarkable talent for gathering people, noting that her parties were “always full of warmth, laughter, and unforgettable food.” These gatherings showcased her ability to create a vibrant and welcoming atmosphere.
“She had a rare gift for making friends with strangers and ensuring that everyone around her felt special, seen, and welcomed,” her loved ones expressed. “Her presence had a remarkable way of transforming ordinary moments into cherished memories.” This ability made Maureen a beloved figure among those who knew her.
The obituary also reflected on the relationship that Ed—who was married to Donna Kelce for 25 years prior to their divorce—shared with Maureen. It mentioned, “She also grew an unexpected love for football later in life, enjoying numerous laughs and adventures with her dear friend Ed Kelce and her loyal dog Butch.” This sentiment underscores the joy they found in each other’s company.
“Together, they traveled frequently, attended football games and concerts, and embraced every opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest,” the message concluded. This highlights the zest for life that both Ed and Maureen shared, celebrating their adventures together.
