Charlene Pound

Charlene Pound, age 86, of Parrottsville, went to be with the Lord on December 31, 2021. She attended Forest Hill Baptist Church until her health would not allow her to attend. She came from a large extended family that was loving and close. She had a huge heart that not only included her family, but friends and even strangers. If she was aware of a need she was always ready to help. She truly loved animals and cared for many. She was preceded in death by her husband John Pound, parents, Arless and Flora McNealy, infant sister Peggy, her cherished sister and best friend Glenna Sutherland, brothers, Ernest McNealy and his wife Billie, Bill McNealy, Ken McNealy and his son Todd.
