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.

Obituary For Frances Anne Marshall

Frances Anne Marshall, known lovingly as "Frani" or "Fran," passed away on August 18, 2024, at Advanced Specialty Hospital in Toledo, Ohio. She was born on January 10, 1947, in Toledo, Ohio, to Frank and Jeanne (Cousino) Rimer.

Frani married her cherished husband, Terrence E. Marshall, on December 19, 1974. Frani worked for over 30 years as a claims analyst for the Social Security Administration, where she was valued by her clients and colleagues for her kind heart and tireless dedication.

She expressed her creative spirit through knitting, sewing, and other crafting. She was an equally avid reader who could devour two or three murder-mysteries in a week. She lived the values of her religious faith through volunteer work throughout her life, and through her involvement at All Saints Catholic Church, where she led a knitting group and enthusiastically worked the rummage sales.

Frani is survived by her beloved husband of 50 years, Terrence, and their daughter, Chantelle Marshall (Jeff Kauppi). She also leaves behind her brother, Rick (Julie) Rimer, and her sisters-in-law Patricia Graff, Sandra (Richard) Bish, and Cate Marshall. She was preceded in death by her parents, Frank and Jean Rimer, as well as her sister, Connie (Bill) Sutton, brother, Steve Rimer and brother-in-law, Walter Graff.

Friends will be received on Thursday, August 22, 2024, from 4:00 PM-7:00 PM at Sujkowski Walker Funeral Home, 830 Lime City Rd, Rossford, Ohio. Visitation will continue at All Saints Catholic Church, 628 Lime City Rd, Rossford, Ohio on Friday, August 23, 2024, from 10:00 AM-11:00 AM, with a funeral mass at 11:00 AM. Burial will follow at St. Joseph Cemetery in Erie, MI. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the American Cancer Society in Frani's honor.
