DENVER — At 100 years old, Arlene Olvey is still quite the saleswoman.
This past week, the Yuma native walked me around La Cache, Children's Hospital Colorado's volunteer-run consignment store, where she has volunteered for more than two decades.
She showed me jewelry, fine china, and even some astonishingly discounted furniture.
"We're having a half-off sale, May 1st through May 6th," she told me, while zooming around the store with a cane. "Tell all your friends to come in and buy something."
All in all, Arlene has been volunteering with Children's Hospital for 42 years, which started with a deeply moving story back in 1954 - when her then-five-year-old son was a patient there.
In the above video, you can hear more about her journey, and even get her advice for living to 100 years old.
