Ed shared a heartfelt tribute to Maguire on his social media, stating she “passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones.” Maguire was celebrated for her nurturing spirit and love of life, described in her obituary as a “devoted mother” who developed a passion for football later in life.

“Together, they traveled often and attended football games and concerts, and embraced every opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest,” the obituary noted, emphasizing her cherished moments with Ed and their loyal dog Butch. Maguire is survived by her three children, six grandchildren, and her siblings, John and Loretta.

Ed served as a pallbearer during the service, helping to carry Maguire’s casket.

The community has rallied around Ed and his family, with many sharing their condolences and memories of Maguire, a woman known for her kindness and ability to make others feel special. “She had a rare gift for making friends with strangers,” her obituary stated, leaving behind a legacy of warmth and love.

The service concluded with a somber yet loving farewell, as friends and family gathered to celebrate the life of Maureen Maguire, a beloved figure who will be greatly missed.
