The McCaskey family released a statement following her passing, via ChicagoBears.com:
“Norma Hunt was the epitome of grace, and a dear friend of Virginia McCaskey. They had a special relationship, as each of them knew exactly what the other was going through, celebrating the triumphs and enduring the disappointments of our great game. Norma handled both the triumphs and the disappointments with dignity, setting an outstanding example for sports fans everywhere. Our condolences to Clark, Tavia, and the entire Hunt family.”
