Norma Hunt, widow of Chiefs founder and former owner Lamar Hunt, has died at age 85. Known as the 'First Lady of Football,' Hunt has been a staple in the sport for decades.
"Our family is deeply saddened by the passing of our mother, Norma," the statement reads."She was a wonderful mother and an extraordinary woman who will be dearly missed by all who knew her.Norma Hunt, widow of Chiefs founder Lamar Hunt, kisses the AFC Championship Trophy named after her late husband during the award ceremony for the Kansas City Chiefs defeating the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Championship Game at Arrowhead Stadium on January 19, 2020, in Kansas City, Missouri.
That came about because she had bought a Super Ball toy for her children, and the name ended up sticking after Lamar Hunt got his inspiration. "Mom was steadfastly devoted to her family and fiercely passionate about her family's sports teams," the statement continued."She was by our father Lamar's side every step of the way – from the merger of the AFL and the NFL to the formation of Major League Soccer, World Championship Tennis, the North American Soccer League, and their founding investment in the Chicago Bulls. She was the only person we knew who rivaled his love of sports.
