Joan Mary Keough Coombs, 87 years of age, passed away on July 9, 2019. She was born in San Diego, CA on October 23, 1931 and was a San Diego resident her entire life. Joan married Ronald Lawrence Coombs on June 2, 1956 at Our Lady of Angels in San Diego. Joan loved the San Diego Padres and watching tennis on TV. She loved all sports and was known by her sons’ friends as the woman who always won the football pool.
Joan is survived by her five children: sons Patrick Robert Coombs, Matthew Zane Coombs, and Thomas Quentin Coombs, and daughters Sharon Marie Vazquez and Teresa Ann Sellar. Joan loved spending time with her seven grandchildren: Jessica Sellar Burnam, Ian Sellar, Aidan Sellar, Andrew Vazquez, Laura Vazquez, Joaquin Coombs and Isabella Coombs and her Great Grandson, George Burnam.
In addition to spending time with her family and watching sports, Joan enjoyed crocheting (producing hundreds of blankets and other fine hand crafted jewels over the years), emailing friends and family from her iPad, talking about sports or just about anything, and spending time with her high school friends.
The funeral will be held at 11am on August 9 at St Rose of Lima Catholic Church at 293 H Street in Chula Vista.
