Virginia McCaskey was an icon of professional football and the matriarch of a wonderful family. She will be remembered not only for her impact on our game, but also for her joyful demeanor, her steady leadership, and her deep faith in the Lord.

My mother, Norma Hunt, adored Virginia. They were friends for decades, sharing their love of football and supporting each other through many ups and downs.

Virginia’s influence on pro football spanned nearly a century, and she will be deeply missed by the entire football community. The Hunt Family and the Chiefs organization extend heartfelt condolences to the McCaskey Family and the Chicago Bears on the loss of this remarkable woman.
