JULIA C. (SAMEK) SINICKI Age 88, of Polish Hill, passed away suddenly but peacefully with her loving family around her, went to Heaven on Christmas Eve, on Tuesday, December 24, 2019. Born on March 1, 1931 in Grindstone, PA and resided in Star Junction, PA, where she graduated with high honors from Perry High School. After high school, Julia moved to the big city with her sister, Dorothy Same to spread their wings. While living in East Liberty in Pittsburgh, PA, she worked as a barmaid at her brother, Joe's, bar on the Northside, where she met her future husband, Walt. They married on June 16, 1956 and they have shared a wonderful and blessed 63 years together. Julia spent five years working at the Melwood Drug Stores Substation Post Office in Oakland until her daughter arrived. She then became a dedicated and wonderful mother for several years. She started to work at Bell Telephone on Stanwix Street, cleaning offices at night. Julia then moved to a daylight job, working for the Pittsburgh Public School District at Arsenal Middle School in the cafeteria where she retired at the age of 65. She had 23 wonderful retirement years that she used to continue to make the world a better place. She was a very religious person who was dedicated to her church, Immaculate Heart of Mary in Polish Hill and was proud to see it become part of the new Shrine Churches of Pittsburgh grouping. Her love and devotion to St. Theresa and the Divine Mercy of God was profound. Her love of family, kindness to all, prayerfulness to others and baking skills were hard to top. Her daughter believes she was called by God because her family misses her nut rolls, bread and paczki. She leaves behind her loving husband, Walter J. "Red" "Jr." Sinicki; cherished daughter Julia "Julie" Sinicki of Hampton Township; her sister, Theresa (Bob) Hajduk; five godchildren; many sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law, nieces, nephews, great-nieces and great-nephews, who were loved and cherished as her own children.
