PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — We have some sad news to report from our Call For Action office here at 6abc.

The local Call for Action director, Gerri Russell, passed away earlier this month.

Her funeral and celebration of life were held on Friday.

Gerri began volunteering on the Call For Action consumer hotline more than 20 years ago.

Her daughter told us that she loved coming here to work with her fellow Call For Action volunteers.

We send our sincere condolences to Gerri Russell’s family.
