Romellie Jane Dayan

My family has helped me to organize this fundraiser in the wake of the tragic death of my wife. We are raising funds to cover the cost of the funeral as well as practical needs we have at the present. Any additional funds will be used for therapy / counselling support and future education for my two sons. Your support is greatly appreciated by all the family.

Romellie Jane Dayan, a nurse and lifelong resident of Winnipeg, died unexpectedly on September 20th, 2023 at the age of 41.

Romellie is survived by her husband Jon, and her two boys Jacob and Jonathan Romeo (JR) Dayan. She is also survived by her two sisters, Ria Siminig and Raina-Laura Turk, as well as her parents Julie and Romeo Siminig.

She was born in Winnipeg on August 10th, 1982. She graduated from the University of Manitoba with a degree in nursing. She worked in multiple centres throughout Winnipeg and across Provinces, helping patients in many different areas including Emergency, Cardiac Care and the Intensive Care Unit.

Romellie had a passion for travelling, and was always looking forward to the next adventure with her family. She loved Hawaii as a place she remembered fondly and was planning on returning to. She also worked as a travel nurse, sometimes bringing her family with her.

She shared a close bond with her two boys. She loved family time at the lake, it was a peaceful place that brought her comfort. Her favourite activities were fishing in any season, laying in the hammock with her dog Chloe, and enjoying the Lake Life.
