The longtime DMV resident is now living in Laurel, Maryland.  Ms. Washington was born in Danville, Virginia, on July 31, 1914. Imagine the history she’s seen firsthand.

A faithful member of Walker Memorial Baptist Church, she is a woman of many passions.

“What do I like? I like to eat and talk and cook and play around. I like shows," Washington said.

"I like to make cookies and cake and things like that," she said.
