The Kelse family is experiencing significant sorrow as the girlfriend of Travis and Jason’s father, Maureen McGuire, passed away on Friday at the age of 74.
Ed Kelse had been in a relationship with Maureen, who had moved from the Bronx to the Philadelphia suburbs. He shared her obituary on his personal Facebook page on Saturday.
The obituary highlighted that after moving, Maureen built a loving home filled with laughter and family traditions. She had been a significant presence in Jason’s life during his 13-year career with the Eagles.
Described as deeply committed to her family, McGuire was noted for her unwavering love and care. The obituary also indicated that Ed was her “beloved friend,” mentioning her involvement in football games and concerts, emphasizing her zest for life.
Interestingly, it noted that Maureen developed a fondness for football later in life, which seems quite surprising.
Maureen was remembered for her impeccable taste and unique style, where even her choice of a tennis skirt became something of a signature, despite not playing tennis. Additionally, she was renowned for being a fantastic hostess who organized unforgettable parties.
Ed Kelse had previously been married to Donna, but they separated before their sons gained fame in the NFL.
In a light-hearted moment, it was mentioned how Maureen playfully joked with pop star Taylor Swift regarding Travis during a photo opportunity, reflecting a sprinkle of warmth in her personality.
Maureen leaves behind three children and six grandchildren from a previous marriage. Her legacy of kindness, wit, and gentle strength will surely be missed by everyone who had the fortune to know her.
