Heartfelt messages have been pouring in continuously on social media from all corners. Gracie Hunt, the Kansas City Chiefs heiress, took to Instagram and shared some of her memories.
The only woman to attend every Super Bowl, Norma Hunt, was the wife of late Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt, who passed away in 2006. After that, his son, Clark Hunt, took over the reins at the Chiefs.
Norma Hunt was in attendance when the Chiefs won Super Bowl LVII, beating the Philadelphia Eagles. She lifted up the Vince Lombardi Trophy alongside her son. This was the third time the Kansas City Chiefs had won the famous trophy.
Afterward, Clark Hunt issued a statement on the official Chiefs page: “Our family (Hunt) is deeply saddened by the passing of our mother, Norma. She was a wonderful mother and an extraordinary woman who will be dearly missed by all who knew her. Kind, generous, and unfailingly positive, Mom was one of a kind. Her joy and zeal for life were infectious. She loved caring for others, and she always had an encouraging word.”
Clark’s daughter, Gracie Hunt, also posted a heartwarming message about Norma Hunt on her Instagram account, saying, “Heaven gained an angel.” You can hear Dean Lewis’ famous song “How Do I Say Goodbye” in the background.
