On Tuesday, February 2, 2021, Julie A. Pintar, of Ben Avon (Pittsburgh), passed away from a hard-fought battle with cancer, surrounded by family and dear friends. She was a young 63 years old. Her trademark was her hearty, infectious laugh and "Jules" brought joy to all she knew. Julie never knew a stranger, whether human or animal, as her tender heart led to the adoption and rescue of so many cats in need, they were her pride and joy. Julie was the beloved daughter of Eugene E. "Gene" Pintar (deceased) and Jane A. Pintar of Warren, Ohio; and big sis to Susan "Susie" Pintar-Miley of San Diego, CA (nieces, Erin and Rachel Miley). Yet her true family extended to a wide circle of dear friends nationwide. A 1979 graduate of the West Virginia University's School of Journalism, an ever-proud Mountaineer, Julie excelled in a long career in advertising as Media Director at agencies from Manhattan, Chicago, Boston to Pittsburgh. To say that Julie was loved and special is truly the understatement of the century. To promote the defeat of the insidious disease of cancer, the family would greatly appreciate donations to be made in Julie Pintar's name to cancer research organizations: The American Cancer Society, St. Jude Children's Cancer Research Hospital, No Stomach for Cancer, MD Anderson Cancer Research Hospital, and Sloan Kettering Cancer Research Hospital. Please donate to Animal Friends Animal Shelter in Pittsburgh in Julie's name as well, as animal welfare was her legacy. Arrangements by LAWRENCE T. MILLER FUNERAL HOME, INC., Bellevue, PA.
