Jayne Marie Romano

A woman of deep faith and multi-time world champion equestrian

Jayne Marie (Ellis) Romano, lovingly known as “Nonie,” passed away on April 23, 2026, at the age of 88.

Born on February 25, 1938, in Boston, Jayne was raised in the Mission Hill neighborhood, where she formed the strong foundation of family, faith, and resilience that would guide her throughout her life.

Jayne is survived by her daughter, Paula Jayne Percoco; her granddaughters, Alexandra Jayne and Nicole Marie; her son, Dean Peter Romano, and his wife, Carol Anne; and her grandsons, Dean Peter and Zachary Charles. She was predeceased by her beloved husband, Peter Joseph Romano, and her son, Peter Joseph Jr.

In the fall of 1960, she married the love of her life, Peter, with whom she shared a devoted partnership until his passing. Together, they built a successful real estate business and raised their children first in Belmont and later in Weston, Massachusetts. Jayne was deeply committed to education and took great pride in her children’s academics, serving on the boards of Saint Sebastian’s School and Newton Country Day School of the Sacred Heart. Much of Jayne and Peter’s life was centered on Cape Cod, where they created a gathering place for their family —boating, biking, running— establishing traditions that grew into a lasting legacy.

Jayne and Peter shared an enduring fervor for travel, journeying across the world—from Egypt to multiple Olympic Games. They spent significant time throughout Europe, immersing themselves in museums and churches. Jayne and Peter had a deep love of art and art history and were avid collectors.

Affectionately called “Nonie” by all who knew and loved her—a name she chose as a grandmother simply because it rhymes with “pony”—Jayne had a lifelong passion for animals. She was a multi-time world champion equestrian, and created treasured memories alongside Paula, Allie, and Nicky, spending summers in Kentucky competing and sharing their love of the sport. Later in life, Jayne lived in Kentucky full-time, where she immersed herself in her love of horses and built lasting relationships with her closest friends in the horse community.

A woman of deep faith, Jayne was a devoted Catholic who found strength and comfort in her beliefs. She and Peter were deeply involved in St. Joseph’s parish in Woods Hole, Massachusetts. Together, they attended many pilgrimages, and she was rebaptized in the Jordan River.

Jayne will be remembered for her strength, intellect, clever sense of humor, and her unmistakable sense of grace and polish. Jayne carried herself with dignity and purpose, and her generosity touched all who knew her. Her legacy will be that of a matriarch with an exemplary devotion to her family and to all who were fortunate enough to call her “Nonie.”

Family and friends are cordially invited to attend the visitation from Caggiano-O’Maley-Frazier Funeral Home, Winthrop today, Thursday, April 30 from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. followed by a funeral mass in St. John the Evangelist Church 320 Winthrop St., Winthrop at 10 a.m. Interment will be private.
