Longtime East Texas hospital volunteer celebrates 100th birthday

Marilyn Johnson's volunteer hours add up to more than 62,000 hours.

LONGVIEW, Texas — A woman who has spent nearly 50 years volunteering at an East Texas hospital celebrated a big milestone Wednesday - her 100th birthday!

Marilyn Johnson has volunteered at Christus Good Shepherd Hospital in Longview since 1976. For her, that's 48 years and 10 months to be exact. 

She celebrated with cake, a party and of course, the happy birthday song, at the hospital. Her volunteer hours add up to more than 62,000 hours. 

"I've been here longer than some of the bricks in the building," Johnson said.
