We identify a sample of 22 host galaxies of Type Ia Supernovae (SNe Ia) atredshifts 0.95<z<1.8 discovered in the Hubble Space Telescope (HST)observations of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) fields. Wemeasure the photometry of the hosts in Spitzer Space Telescope and ground-basedimaging of the GOODS fields to provide flux densities from the U-band to 24microns. We fit the broad-band photometry of each host with Simple StellarPopulation (SSP) models to estimate the age of the stellar population givingrise to the SN Ia explosions. We break the well-known age-extinction degeneracyin such analyses using the Spitzer 24 micron data to place upper limits on thethermally reprocessed, far-infrared emission from dust. The ages of thesestellar populations give us an estimate of the delay times between the firstepoch of star-formation in the galaxies and the explosion of the SNe Ia. Wefind a bi-modal distribution of delay times ranging from 0.06 - 4.75 Gyrs. Wealso constrain the first-epoch of low mass star formation using these results,showing that stars of mass <8 Msun were formed within 3 Gyrs after the Big Bangand possibly by z~6. This argues against a truncated stellar initial massfunction in high redshift galaxies.
