As part owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Rita McGinley had a deep affection for the team, rarely missing a chance to root them to victory or mingle with the players at training camp, family members say.
But football was down the list of things about which she felt most passionate, according to her family.
“The best description of her is that she was a teacher and philanthropist who happened to have an interest in a football team,” said her nephew, Jack McGinley.
Rita M. McGinley of Oakland died on Friday, Feb. 15, 2013. She was 94.
“My aunt loved teaching and counseling and was always looking for ways to advance the causes she cared about,” Jack McGinley said. “But don't get me wrong — you couldn't say anything bad about the Steelers. In her mind, they never lost. They just ran out of time.”
Her family, which is related to the Rooney family, is a minority owner in the Steelers.
