GPFO is saddened to announce the passing of Dena H. Robbins, a longtime GPFO volunteer who specialized in housing out-of-town cast and crew while filming in Philadelphia.

Dena was a fierce proponent and passionate lover of the arts in Philadelphia, but she loved film most of all. There wasn't a promotional screening she missed, and if you ever met Dena at one, you would never forget her fire-red hair or her equally fiery personality!

We send our deepest condolences to her sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, and all who loved her. We hope there is some comfort in knowing that Dena is now reunited with the love of her life, Jerry.
