Our family is deeply saddened by the loss of our mother, Norma. She was an incredible mother and an extraordinary woman who will be dearly missed by all who knew her.
Kind, generous and always positive – Mom was one of them. His zest for life and joie de vivre are contagious. She likes to be thoughtful and always has words of encouragement. She is a devoted friend, an accomplished hostess, and she has a rare ability to make everyone she meets feel valued and at ease.
Mom was unwavering in her love for her family and was passionate about her family’s sports teams. From the merger of the AFL and NFL to the creation of Major League Soccer, World Championship Tennis, the North American Soccer League and its founding investment in the Chicago Bulls, she has always been with our father Lamar. She is the only person we know who can match her love of sports. Whether at home or in the stands of stadiums around the world, the two share a lot of joy.
In February, she played in her 57th and final Super Bowl and saw her beloved Chiefs lift the Lombardi Trophy for the third time. As the only woman to play in every Super Bowl, it was a fitting end to her winning streak.
Her calm and deep faith sustained her all her life, and it is a great comfort to us to know that she is with the Lord. She will be greatly missed by our family, the Chiefs and FC Dallas family and all who knew her. “She was a devoted friend, an accomplished hostess and had a rare ability to make everyone she met feel valued and at ease.”
