Romayne A. Burr-Treusdell of 5686 County Route 17 passed away on Friday, July 25, 2025, in the arms of her family, at Olean General Hospital after a short illness.

Romayne said her usual long goodbye in the last 10 days of her life surrounded by loved ones. She lived a long, full, joyful life. Romayne fought to the end to stay with us. She amazed her nurses at her strength when her body was so weak, and they fell in love with her and shared our grief with us.

Romayne was born April 28, 1932, at her home in Caneadea to Harland Williard and Nellie Mae Cole Hale. She married Burton J. Burr “Zeke” in 1950, and they were married for 61 years. On April 23, 2016, she married Richard “Dick” Treusdell at Belfast United Methodist Church, who survives.

Romayne attended a one room schoolhouse next to her home for First and Second grade. She graduated from Belfast Central School in 1950. She worked at Motorola and as a Home Health Aid. Romayne loved our family gatherings very much, especially at the family farm. She enjoyed gardening, reading, listening to music, and spending time with her many animals over the years, especially her pet pig Wall-E.

Romayne is survived by her loving husband Richard “Dick” Treusdell, eight children, Susan (Harry) Klein, Barbara (Harry) Burton, Constance (Charles) Wixon, Lori (Michael Thompson) Burr, Aaron (Francine) Burr, Christopher (Janet) Burr, Michele (Steven Haettich) Burr, Ruth (Scott) Dembinski, 23 grandchildren, 36 great-grandchildren, 15 great great grandchildren, her sister Janet (Dave) Bissell, and many nieces and nephews.
