Norma became the wife of Paul Norris Hunt in March of 1933. She was working in the Roger Mills County tax office and he had became county treasurer upon the death of his father. To their union was born Paul Duane Hunt, now residing with wife Deanna in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and Ronald Wayne Hunt, now residing with his wife Anita in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.

Returning to western Oklahoma as the war was concluding, the couple purchased a store in Elk City, Oklahoma and then one in Strong City, Oklahoma. In addition to running the store while Paul farmed, she also tested cream, sold gas and raised her two sons.
