Therese ‘Terry’ Pounds (Joiner): 1927-2024

Therese “Terry” Pounds (Joiner), 97, of Montclair, NJ died peacefully surrounded by family at Mountainside Hospital on Wednesday, September 11, 2024. Beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, aunt, cousin and friend, Terry was born a ‘survivor,’ having lost her mother who died soon after her birth in 1927 in New York City. She subsequently lived all over the world as a self-described “army brat” after her father, Colonel Talley Dosier Joiner, remarried and reclaimed “his little Therese” from her aunts who raised her until she was six. After graduating from Columbia High School in Maplewood, NJ, Terry briefly attended college at Trinity, DC, then decided to go to Katharine Gibbs Secretarial School in NJ. The skills she learned there served her well at her first secretarial jobs in Manhattan, then later at Montclair Kimberly Academy in Montclair where she worked for almost twenty years in the Office of External Affairs. She was proud of her mastery of the rules of English grammar, and many relied on her to proofread their letters. After the death of her husband in 1978, Terry set up a Montclair chapter of THEOS, a nationwide non-denominational support group for widowed men and women. She ran the group for approximately ten years and created friendships from that work that lasted until her death. She was also involved with the Friends of Barnet and the Montclair Fine Arts Festival.

Terry was predeceased in death by her husband, Donald Pounds, her son Richard, her beloved companions, Arthur Jones and Fred Berinato, and her sisters Lucy and Claire. She is survived by her son Donald Pounds and his companion Patrice Holtzer, daughter Mary Pounds Sisler, daughter-in-law Bette Pounds, sons James Pounds (Bethany) and Thomas Pounds (Liljana), daughter Virginia Pounds, sons Michael Pounds (Catherine) and John Pounds. She was the proud grandmother of sixteen grandchildren and five great-grandchildren: Katy, Austin, Colleen, Connor, Jordan, Jason, Jeremy, Natalie, Anika, Evan, Noah, Ben, Eli, Max, Harper and Nolan; Scarlett, Emma, Carson, Peyton and Wesley. She is also survived by a large extended family and countless friends.

Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, November 9 at 10 a.m. at Immaculate Conception Church, 30 N. Fullerton Ave., Montclair, NJ 07042, followed by interment of ashes at Immaculate Conception Cemetery in Upper Montclair.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Terry’s name to The Release Recovery Foundation at: https://donate.hakuapp.com/donations/new?fundraising_effort=in-loving-memory-of-therese-terry-pounds.

He spent most of his career with Owens Corning, where he worked for 35+ years, the last 10 of which he was a Vice President and Corporate Controller. He retired in 1993.

Pete married the love of his life, Paula, in 1957. They spent 66 years together and celebrated their anniversary one week before his passing. Together they raised three children, and they were committed members of Collingwood Presbyterian Church.

Pete and Paula were dedicated Ohio State Buckeye fans and were football season ticket holders for nearly 60 years, rarely missing a home game during that time. Pete was also very passionate about baseball. He was an avid supporter of the Ohio State baseball program and traveled with the team, enjoying his unofficial role as “hospitality coordinator” for the coaching staff. Early on while they were courting, Pete took Paula on a date, driving her from Portsmouth to Cincinnati and back to watch a double-header with the Cincinnati Reds. When she didn’t resist or complain, he knew had had found his perfect match. He and Paula also loved to travel, especially with family, making a point to take each of their grandchildren on special trips throughout the years.

Pete is survived by his wife, Paula Hauck; children, Laurie Hauck, Nancy (Dan) McMahon, Tom (Becky) Hauck; grandchildren, Meagan (Luke) Brown, Erin (Jason) VanDevere, Kevin (Lauren) McMahon, Brian McMahon, Shannon McMahon, Kathleen McMahon, Zack Hauck, Nick Hauck, and Abby Hauck; and seven great-grandchildren.
