She was the Director of the Polk County Committee on Aging and was a member of the Deep East Texas Committee on Aging before retiring in 1997. Virginia had a heart of gold. Whether it was helping 4-H members type their record books, teach them how to keep their project records, or transport them to their contest sites, she was always available. That helping hand was always extended to her husband, Chile, who was a County Extension Agent with the Texas Cooperative Extension Service. Virginia, known and loved by so many, was a beloved daughter, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, aunt, and friend. She was preceded in death by father Rudolf Fleming; mother Elsieline Fleming; husband C.S. "Chile" Smith; sister Marilyn Keeling; sister Billie Burney; and son-in-law Joe "Bear" Breeden.

She had five great-grandchildren, as well as nieces and nephews. Virginia was an active member of Central Baptist Church in College Station. She loved the Lord, her family, friends, and Texas A&M athletics. There is no larger A&M fan than Virginia! Although not a graduate of A&M, her heart belonged to the Aggies none the less. She truly bled "Aggie Maroon".
