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 Garrett Michael Timbrook

Garrett Michael Timbrook, 35, of Perrysburg, Ohio passed away Saturday, January 25th at 11:21 am surrounded by his family and friends.

Garrett was an avid gamer. When he wasn’t working or spending time with his family, he would be chatting with his closest friends from all over the country, including his girlfriend, Sahaily. Garrett had a unique sense of humor that kept everyone he came in contact with laughing.

You could find him cheering for the Detroit Red Wings, the Dallas Cowboys, and THE Ohio State University Buckeyes- which we take pride in knowing he was able to watch the Buckeyes win yet another National Championship.

He loved to work on cars and electronics and was an amazing artist. The artistic skills also came out in his work as a metal fabricator/welder with Fisher Metals. Garrett worked on many projects that ended up all over the Toledo area.

No matter what was going on in his life, Garrett was always a phone call away to listen and help those he cared about. What Garrett lacked in words, he spoke with his actions of love and selflessness.

While this is an unfortunate situation, his family takes comfort in the fact that he was able to donate his organs and save multiple lives.

He is survived by his parents Michael and Barbara (Zunk) Timbrook, sister Bridget, brother Dillon, and grandmother Terry Zunk. His uncles Rob (Caren) Zunk, Lee (Jillene) Zunk, Steve (Debbie) Lyons, Bruce Lyons and his many cousins, great aunts and uncles.

He is proceeded in death by Richard and Patricia Timbrook, Robert Zunk, Myron and Kathleen Schimming, and Shirley Lyons.

Friends and family will be received Saturday, February 1, 2025 from 12-4 p.m. at Witzler-Shank-Walker Funeral Home, 222 E. South Boundary Street, Perrysburg (419-874-3133) where a memorial service will be held at 4 p.m. Burial will be private. The family is asking that in lieu of flowers, to please consider a donation to Life Connection of Toledo, 3661 Briarfield Blvd, Maumee, Ohio, 43567 (www.lifeconnection.org) or the Wounded Warrior Project, https://support.woundedwarriorproject.org.
