Tributes continued to pour in Monday to honor Norma Knobel Hunt, the matriarch of the Kansas City Chiefs, who died at age 85.

The Chiefs announced her death on Sunday through a statement from her family.

She was the wife of longtime Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt and the mother of Clark Hunt, the current chairman and CEO.

"She was a wonderful mother and an extraordinary woman who will be dearly missed by all who knew her," the statement said, in part. "Kind, generous and unfailingly positive, Mom was one of a kind. Her joy and zeal for life were infectious.
