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 Paul Joseph Macino

Paul Joseph Macino Obituary

Paul J. Macino, Toledo, Ohio, was born March 18, 1958 and passed away peacefully on July 28, 2025, after a hard-fought battle with cancer. He was the fifth of seven children born to William and Helen (Lajti) Macino. From an early age Paul and his siblings worked in the family business, Macino Shoe Repair, where hard work and dedication were emphasized. He retired from the business when it closed in 2023. He will be remembered as a loving uncle to his nieces and nephews, and as an avid Detroit Lions’ fan. Paul regularly enjoyed breakfast with friends at Mayberry Diner in Toledo and a Saturday dinner with a good glass of chianti.

Paul is preceded in death by his parents and is survived by brothers, Al (Heidi), David, Mario and Chris (Jane) Macino; sisters Cassandra Macino, and Mary (Joe) Giacci; nieces, Amanda, Cristin, Nicole, Alexis, Victoria, Elena, and Jenny; and nephews, Anthony, Adam, Christopher, and AJ, and their spouses and children.

There will be a memorial mass at Christ the King Catholic Church on Friday, August 8 at 10:30am. The family will receive visitors starting at 9:30am.
