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 "Tim" L. Donaho, Sr.

Timothy (Tim) Lawrence Donaho Sr, of Perrysburg, Ohio passed away at the age of 85 on November 9, 2024 - choosing to ask his maker to take him home rather than endure another Trump presidency.

Tim was born September 28, 1939 in Canton, Illinois to the late Melvin and Lillian (Tozier) Donaho. Tim graduated from Havana (Illinois) High School in 1957. He served in the United States Navy as a Hospital Corpsman at National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, MD from 1958 – 1962. He married his wife Peggy (Sir Hendrey) on October 20, 1962. After he and Peggy’s separation from the US Navy, he was the Water Plant Superintendent for the City of Havana Illinois from 1964 – 1990. He moved to the Toledo Ohio area in 1991 to assist his brother Waldo’s greenhouse manufacturing business as he never met a mechanical challenge he couldn’t figure out and fix.

Tim was a loving father and grandfather and provided countless memories for all. He was a huge Dallas Cowboy fan. He could not stand Jerry Jones because he fired Tom Landry, who he considered the greatest football coach of all time. He was also a diehard St. Louis Cardinals fan. He often wished Bob Gibson was still pitching to this day. Maybe he’ll see him pitching in heaven. Tim never held back his opinion and treated everyone equally.

Tim is survived by wife Peggy, sons Tim (Maureen) Donaho of Collinsville, Illinois, Robert Donaho of Armington, IL, Philip Donaho of Chattanooga, TN, and daughter Melissa (Sean) Cadaret of Perrysburg, Ohio. Also surviving are a sister, Virginia (Byron) Earhart of San Diego, CA, and a brother Terry (Eileen) Donaho of Havana, IL. Tim also leaves behind ten grandchildren: Bridget Donaho, Katherine Donaho, Timothy Lawrence Donaho III, Madison (Royce) Ryman, Dr. Amber (Abe) Music, Zachary (Kaitlyn) Waterman, Conor Donaho (Hannah Scheckel), Kenna (Justin) Webb, Benjamin Cadaret and Sophia Cadaret, and two great granddaughters, Liliana and Madilyn Music. Tim was preceded in death by three brothers: Melvin Donaho, Waldo Donaho, Kermit Donaho and a daughter-in-law, Dawn Donaho.

Pursuant to Tim’s wishes, the family will celebrate his life with a private service. Memorials may be made to: Hospice of Northwest Ohio or the American Heart Association.
