It would be impossible to track the number of hours a valley woman has given back to the community. At 95-years-old, she won't be stopping anytime soon.

While Juanita Taylor stands at 4'11", she sets the bar high for her volunteer work around the valley.

On Friday, staff at Sentara RMH helped celebrate the fact she's been volunteering at the hospital for 70 years.

She joined the RMU Auxiliary Group in 1947 and still works in the gift shop.

Taylor said volunteering is a great and encourages everyone to give their time.

"I learned more about how to be patient and accept things as they are happening and try to work with them rather than work against them," Taylor said. "And I think by volunteering, I learned there are a lot of things I can do to help other people and it doesn't take any money. It just takes your own body and your ambition to help."

Taylor also volunteers here time to the Salvation Army in Harrisonburg and the Historical Society in Dayton.
