"She also grew an unexpected love for football later in life, sharing many laughs and adventures with her beloved friend Ed Kelce and her loyal dog Butch," the obituary from Stretch Funeral Home in the suburbs of Philadelphia read in part. "Together, they traveled often and attended football games and concerts, and embraced every opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest." "A natural hostess, she was famous for throwing the best parties, always full of warmth, laughter, and unforgettable food," it added. Tim Nwachukwu/Getty In an interview with theLos Angeles Timesin February 2024, Ed shared how Maguire had been getting to know his son Travis' girlfriend, Taylor Swift, and revealed a funny interaction between the pair shortly after they met. While Swift, 35, was posing for a picture with Ed, Maguire joked, "Hey, that's my boyfriend," to which Swift laughed. During a conversation onAudacy's 92.3 The Fan in Cleveland, perToday.com, Ed also revealed how he couldn't recall Swift's name during an early interaction at Travis' home and Maguire had to remind him of who she was. "When Travis has a lot of friends coming into town to go to the game, everyone meets at his house, although he's not there," Ed said, adding that there can often be up to 20 there before a home game. "They have a shuttle that comes and picks everybody up and takes them to the game." Ed went on to say that he has probably met some of those in attendance "but cannot for the life of me picture, remember who they are." "And Taylor comes in, walks in with a security guard and I look at her ... and I had my girlfriend with me and I mention to Maureen, 'Oh, my God, I know this kid but I don't know what her name is.' Geez, you know, like a real idiot," he said. Maguire then told him, "'You don't know her? This is Taylor Swift, you idiot.'
