James (Jimmy) was born in Boston, Massachusetts, and was of Lebanese
heritage. He was the son of James M. Bethoney, Sr. and Elsie (Yahoub)
Bethoney, and one of eleven children in his family.

Jimmy was married to Linda S. Bethoney for 23 years at the time of his

as a Pastor, the Men's Ministry and Head Usher at Living Word Family

He is also survived by many nieces and nephews, who will remember him
with love and respect. "Uncle Jimmy" as they called him, held a special
place to each one and he loved each one!

his service to God.
