Gracie Hunt mourns death of grandmother Norma: ‘Absolute legend’

Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt shared a touching tribute to her grandmother, Norma Hunt.

The wife of late former Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt, who founded the franchise, died over the weekend at 85 years old.

Her granddaughter, Gracie, posted a message on Instagram with effusive praise for the family matriarch.

“My Mimi Norma was an absolute legend. The only woman to see all 58 Super Bowls. With a precious Texas accent, she was humble, beautiful, brilliant, hilarious, joyful, fun and fierce. She was an eternal optimist, the best cheerleader and so much more. She was extraordinary❤️,” the message began.

“She was a force and was just as passionate about sports as she was about politics and making the world a better place. She lived each day with wisdom and strength. She loved Jesus and instilled Christian values in our family. When I think of my grandmother, Proverbs 31:25 comes to mind, ‘She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs without fear of the future.’”

Gracie Hunt, who was crowned Miss Kansas USA in 2021, remembered her grandmother as a fashion maven and an arch advocate for justice.

“Mimi Norma was not only Miss Manners, the First Lady of Football, and a best dressed style icon, but someone who genuinely cared about each person she met and made everyone feel special. She literally lit up every room she was in,” the Instagram tribute continued.

“She quietly and anonymously supported people and causes, while vocally standing for patriotism, capitalism, and the underserved community. She loved God and this country.????????????????

“My heart is broken but I know she’s in Heaven with her Savior, and reunited with the love of her life. And they’re probably smiling up at Jesus and down at the Chiefs at the White House today.????????????????”
