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 Timothy L. Moore

In Loving Memory of Timothy "Tbone" Lee Moore

Timothy Lee Moore, known affectionately as "Tbone" by his close friends, passed away peacefully on Monday, August 19, 2024, surrounded by the love of his wife and son. Born on September 18, 1956, in Corpus Christi, TX, Tim was the beloved son of Richard and Caroline (Shaner) Moore.

In 1976, Tim met the love of his life, Terribeth Gordon-Moore, and their deep connection blossomed into a lifelong partnership. They were joyfully married in 1992, sharing over four decades of love, laughter, and adventure.

Tim was a man of many passions. He had a quick wit and a great sense of humor that endeared him to all who knew him. After dedicating 30 years of his life to Foundation Park Care Center in Environmental Services, where he retired in 2018, you could often find him unwinding with a ride on his Harley Tri-Glide, feeling the wind and finding peace on the open road. An avid golfer, Tim spent countless hours on the greens of Inverness Club and Highland Meadows, where he found camaraderie and joy. Golf was more than a hobby for Tim—it was a way of life, and he cherished the time spent with friends and family on the course.

At home, Tim had a soft spot for simple pleasures, like sharing Oreos with his loyal Boxer, Cassius. These small moments brought him immense joy and reflected his deep appreciation for life’s little treasures.

Tim was preceded in death by his loving parents, Richard and Carolyn, whom he now joins in eternal rest. He leaves behind a legacy of love and laughter, carried on by his devoted wife, Terribeth Gordon-Moore; his son, Timothy Moore Jr.; his sister, Carol Knight; and his brothers, Terry (Debbie) and Rick (Elaine). Tim was also a cherished uncle to many nieces and nephews, each of whom held a special place in his heart.

Family and friends are invited to celebrate Tim’s life during a visitation at Walker Funeral Home (5155 W. Sylvania Ave.) on Monday, August 26, 2024, from 4 pm – 7 pm. A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Pius X Catholic Church on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, at 10:00 am, followed by interment at Toledo Memorial Park.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to The American Cancer Society in Tim’s honor, a cause close to his heart.
