Brenda S. Imes

Brenda S. Imes, age 78, of  Massillon, Ohio,  died Sunday afternoon, June 1, 2025 in  the Aultman Compassionate Care Center at Canton.

She was born July 6, 1946 in Canton, Ohio and was the daughter of the late Daniel Bernard and Iva Pauline (Clark) Buckey.  In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by five brothers, Daniel, George W. "Bill", Duane Floyd, Jack, and Robert L. Buckey, and a brother-in-law, Kenny Moffat.

Brenda had a varied work history, having been employed in the Deli Department of  "Farmer Jack's" in Toledo, OH, Baxter's General Store in Sherrodsville where she worked as a clerk, and a cook at the former Atwood Lake Lodge and Conference Center.  She was Methodist by faith and was a 1964 graduate of Conotton Valley High School.  Brenda enjoyed reading and completing crossword puzzles in her spare time.  She loved playing board games including Yahtzee and Scrabble to name a few, and looked forward to family Euchre tournaments.  Her family recognized that she could be just a little less than honest in her efforts to win these games.  She was fond of attending car shows with her husband George, was a lifetime fan of the Cleveland Indians, and liked to watch "Wheel of Fortune" on television.  Her family was her primary focus, especially her grandchildren, who were always a priority in her life. 

She is survived by her husband Walter George Imes, whom she married June 26, 1976, her five children, Mrs. Kimberly (Wayne) Lucas and Susanne Raemann, both of  Massillon, OH,  Matthew (Heather) Arms of Centerburg, OH,  Martin Imes of Massillon, and Keith (Companion Rachel Sanford) Imes of Sherrodsville, OH, her three sisters, Roberta Lane of Bowling Green, OH, Connie Bowling of Bolivar, OH, and Cheryl Moffat of Scio, OH, her fifteen grandchildren, Chris (Heather Conn) Lucas and Daniel Lucas, both of Carrollton, OH,  Mikel Imes of East Palestine, OH,  Michelle Raemann of Germany, Sarah Lucas of Massillon, Brayden Weir of Columbus, OH,  Jalen Arms of Phoenix, AZ, Gavin Imes of Bolivar, OH, Garik Imes of New Philadelphia, OH, Rachel Lucas of Massillon,  Garson Imes of New Philadelphia, Aubrey Imes of Sherrodsville, OH, Max Raemann of Germany, and Ethan Arms and Nolan Arms, both of Centerburg, and a large family of great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
