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 James "Jimmy" P. Yuille

James “Jimmy” Yuille died peacefully on October 29, 2024, with his family nearby. He was born in Toledo, Ohio on February 5, 1954, to James and Emma (Spurgeon) Yuille.

From the beginning, Jimmy was super smart. He read from an early age and loved reading his entire life. He graduated from Scott High School as Salutatorian in his class and went on to graduate from the University of Toledo with his Bachelor of Education Degree.

Ice cream, cherry cokes, dancing to Elvis music and going to the movies with his sister were some of his favorite things to do. Watching Tigers baseball and The Ohio State football team on television helped pass his time.

His love of candy, chili and cheese fries, any sweet treat and Chef Boyardee Ravioli were his special treats that he requested until his last days.

James is survived by his brother, Jeff Yuille, and sister, Rosella Young-Broshious; nephews Richard, Robin (Ann), Sam (Debbie), and Terry (Susan) Russeau; niece Andrea (Ed) Russeau; 13 great-nieces and nephews, and 18 great-great-nieces and nephews.

A visitation will be held at Walker Funeral Home (5155 W. Sylvania Ave.) on November 5, 2024, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. with a service at Walker on Wednesday, November 6, 2024 at 11 a.m. Interment will follow at Toledo Memorial Park.

In lieu of flowers the family suggests a gift made to The American Heart Association.
