BACALZO, Agnes Agnes was born June 13, 1934 in Chicago, IL to Leander and Cecilia de la Cruz. She was the first of five siblings: Robert, Thomas, Edward and Virginia. She passed away April 15, 2018. She graduated from St. Michael's Central High in 1952 and attended Mundelein College. Dance was Agnes' professional passion. While in High School, she traveled with a dance company with the Nuns permission as long as she turned in her work. Her last performance was dancing with a nightly show at the Edgewater Beach Hotel in Chicago. In 1954, she married Pacifico Bacalzo, an Architect. They had three loving children: David Bacalzo, husband Tom Donahue, Laura Rolandelli, husband Richard Rolandelli, Linda Atlason, and husband Chris Atlason. In 1964 they moved to Puerto Rico to enjoy better weather and a new culture. Agnes worked for the Grolier Company as a secretary and finally for the San Juan Convention Bureau. The family home became a gathering place for the growing Filipino Community. With the blessing of the Philippines Consulate, the State Department of Puerto Rico would contact the Bacalzo family to host dignitaries from the Philippines. Most weekends were social affairs hosted by Agnes. Agnes was instrumental in forming the first Filipino Women's Club of Puerto Rico, starting with two dozen members. An annual activity by the Club was to showcase the music and the dance of the Philippines. In their 63 years of marriage they have enjoyed travel to almost every part of the world. In 1976 they moved to Dallas. Agnes soon joined the Dallas Convention Bureau as a supervisor and translator. She retired in 2010 and the family relocated to Frisco to be near their children and grandchildren, Christina Rolandelli, Juliana Rolandelli, Sabrina Rolandelli and Julie Atlason.
