ROCKLAND, Maine — It’s been said that time is what we want most but what we use worst. Virginia Oliver has been blessed with a lot of time, 101 years to be exact, but it's what she's chosen to do with it that makes her life remarkable.
Virginia, or Ginny as her friends call her, was born on Claredon Street in Rockland at her parent's home in June of 1920. The centenarian still lives on the same street but in a different house, one where she raised her four children.
