GEORGE AND NORMA STRAIT – 47 YEARS
George Strait is a legend when it comes to country music. Dubbed as “King of Country”, there is also a queen who stands by him. She is Norma Strait, his high school sweetheart, and wife for 47 years and counting. Norma has been a rock to George since he started his career. Credits to his talent, George has become one of the best selling music artists of all time as he sold more than 100 million records worldwide.
Unfortunately, their 13-year-old daughter, Jenifer, was killed in a car accident in San Marcos, Texas. They set up the Jenifer Strait Foundation to preserve her memory through charitable activities. Norma worked as a full-time housewife until her son, Bubba, started college, and then joined her husband, George, until he retired from the tour. Now, George and Norma are embracing their new role as grandparents, and their love story continues.
