Joan Irene Trembath

Joan Irene Trembath, 82, of Lakewood, passed away April 6, 2026. She was born on September 30, 1943 in Denver, Colorado. She is preceded in death by her husband, George Trembath. She is survived by her son Brian (Tracey); her grandchildren Cole, Blake, Dillon, and Morgan; her three siblings and many nieces, nephews, and dear friends.

Joan spent her early years in Goodland, Kansas and Limon, Colorado before moving to Denver after high school. She and George were married in 1966 and they spent the next 53 years living happily together in the Lakewood area. Joan gave birth to her son Brian the following year and became a devoted, loving mother who was always there with words of comfort and encouragement. She re-entered the workforce in 1984 as a teacher’s assistant at the elementary school level in Jefferson County where she worked for the next 16 years. Joan was a caring and calming influence in the classroom. She had a unique ability to connect with young people and they treasured their time with “Mrs. T”.

After retiring from Jefferson County Schools, Joan spent countless hours working with Catholic Charities and St. Vincent de Paul to help those in need. It was also during this time that she became a proud grandmother. She relished the time she spent with her four grandchildren and they brought her immense happiness and joy.

Joan was a longtime parishioner of Notre Dame Catholic Church in Denver where she volunteered her time and energy to countless school and church activities, while at the same time making treasured friendships that would last a life time.

Joan will be missed by many. She was a humble, self-less person who touched more lives than she ever knew.

Funeral mass will be held Thursday, April 16, 2026 at 11am at St Jude Catholic Church, 9405 W. Florida Ave., Lakewood. Donations can be made to St. Vincent de Paul in care of Notre Dame Catholic Church, 2190 Sheridan Ave., Denver, CO 80219.
