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 Frank D. Tammarine

Frank (Danny) Tammarine, affectionately known to many as “Buzz”, 79, of Perrysburg, Ohio, passed away March 10, 2025. He was born July 9, 1945 in Toledo, Ohio to Frank and Bernadine (Huber Royce) Tammarine.

Frank was one of twelve in a large Italian family who lived in Sylvania, Ohio, where he graduated from Northview High School. In 1965, Frank married his beloved wife Candace (Candy) Dodds of Bedford, Michigan, who passed in May 2020. Frank and Candy lived, worked, and raised their children in Perrysburg, Ohio. Frank was the long-time owner of Fort Meigs Barbershop. Without a doubt, he was happiest serving the community. From kids to cops to every local, Frank had a reputation as Perrysburg’s best barber, and he took full advantage of the captive audience to build not only customers but friends, tagged with his signature nickname “Buzz”. Frank’s superpower was his unwavering, unfiltered self. If he was your friend, he was your best friend; if he was your enemy, you had no worse enemy. Frank would invite you to live with him in times of need and just as quickly rearrange your nose if you crossed him or a loved one. Family was first for Frank. He was the captain and unwavering supporter of our family, our sports teams, our power hours, our everything.

Frank (Danny) Tammarine is survived by his sons, Keith Tammarine (Tammy), Dean Tammarine (Melissa), and Don Oswalt; granddaughters, Sydney Tammarine (Ian), Evelyn Segura (Derek), and Gabi Tammarine; and grandson, Ellis Tammarine. He is also survived by his brothers, Tony Tammarine, Chris Tammarine, Matt Tammarine, and Joe Tammarine; sisters, Christina Butler, Dora Sierra, Rita Hoff, Lucy Flores, Diane Fouts, and Rosie Dunlap; as well as many beloved nieces, nephews, and cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, Frank and Bernadine Tammarine; his wife, Candace Tammarine; his brothers, Mike Tammarine, Noel Tammarine, and Jerome Tammarine; and his sisters, Paula Wallace, Angie Tammarine, and Mary Simon.

Visitation will take place in Perrysburg at Witzler-Shank-Walker Funeral Home on Friday, March 14 from 3–7PM. Funeral services will take place in Perrysburg at Witzler-Shank-Walker on Saturday, March 15 at 2PM, followed by a graveside service at Fort Meigs Cemetery and a memorial wake at Keith and Tammy Tammarine’s house. Frank’s request was that everyone celebrate his life and the man he was. All food and drink will be provided; please bring your memories and stories. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Nature’s Nursery.
