The profound sense of loss and sorrow that accompanies the news of Rocca Salcedo’s passing weighs heavily upon our hearts. With the blessing and permission of Rocca’s grieving family, we share this news with a heavy heart, commemorating the life of a remarkable individual whose impact on our community was nothing short of transformative.
The memorial, a solemn occasion to honor Rocca’s memory, is scheduled for this Thursday.
Rocca Salcedo was not just a person; she was a trailblazer and a dedicated community builder. With a rich Latin background and an unbridled passion for music and dance, Rocca embarked on an inspiring journey in 2019, giving birth to the adaptive dance group, ‘Dance & Roll.’ This initiative, born out of her genuine desire to create an inclusive and uplifting space, blossomed into a vibrant, caring, and creatively charged community that touched the lives of many.
Through ‘Dance & Roll,’ Rocca transcended barriers and brought people together, fostering a sense of belonging that went beyond physical abilities. Her dedication to making the joy of dance accessible to everyone, regardless of their physical challenges, exemplified her compassionate and pioneering spirit.
The impact of Rocca’s efforts resonated far beyond the dance floor, enriching the lives of those involved and radiating positivity throughout the community.
As we come together to remember Rocca Salcedo, let us reflect on the indomitable spirit she embodied and the legacy she leaves behind. The memorial, a poignant occasion to celebrate her life, is an opportunity for the community she built to gather and share the collective grief that accompanies her departure.
Our thoughts and condolences are with Rocca’s family, and we stand united in honoring a woman whose vision and passion continue to echo through the hearts of those she touched.
