James G. (Jim) Imbody Obituary James G. (Jim) Imbody, 74, of Bethlehem, PA, passed away peacefully on Saturday, May 25th, 2024, surrounded by his loving family after a long and courageous battle. Born on September 11th, 1949, in Fountain Hill, PA, Jim was the beloved son of the late Warren Imbody and Elizabeth (Bauder) Wheeler.
Jim's life was one of dedication and warmth, as evidenced by the deep love he shared with his family and friends. He is survived by his devoted wife, Jane (McDonald) Imbody of Bethlehem, PA; his son, Matthew Imbody-Croissette, and son-in-law, Andrew Croissette of Bethlehem, PA; his daughters, Robin Seitter and her husband, 'Chuck' Seitter of Warminster, PA, and Tammy Imbody, also of Warminster, PA.

Jim was a guiding light in their lives, and his presence will be deeply missed. Preceding him in death were his sisters, Shirley Yeager and Isabelle Imbody, and his daughter, Tracy Imbody.
Jim's professional life was marked by his steadfast commitment and work ethic. He dedicated many years of service to Bethlehem Steel, where he made a significant impact through his dedication and hard work. Following his time at Bethlehem Steel, Jim continued his career at Holy Family Manor in Bethlehem as a housekeeping and security officer, working tirelessly until he fell ill in 2007.
Beyond his professional life, Jim was a passionate fan of the Philadelphia Eagles and the Phillies. His enthusiasm for his teams was infectious, and he enjoyed sharing this love with his friends and family. Jim also found joy in the great outdoors, cherishing trips down to the shore where he could soak in the sun and the serenity of the sea.
