Maureen was a proud and loving mother to Chuck (Jessica), Courtney (David), and Patrick (Christen). She was also a devoted grandmother to six grandchildren. Her sister Loretta O’Brien (Kevin) and brother John Bullock (Linda) were very dear to her.

She was preceded in death by her husband Daniel, her parents Howard and Cecilia Bullock, and her younger brother Howie.

In recent years, Maureen found joy in football and shared many happy moments with her partner, Ed Kelce, and their dog, Butch. Together, they traveled, went to games and concerts, and enjoyed life as much as they could.

Maureen Maguire once famously joked with Taylor Swift during a Chiefs game, saying “Hey, that’s my boyfriend,” while Swift posed with Ed.

In another instance, Ed once recalled forgetting Swift’s name, and Maureen teasing him: “You don’t know her? That’s Taylor Swift, you idiot."
