Virginia Ann (Fleming) Smith
2/7/1932-1/7/2015

Virginia Ann Fleming Smith, age 82, of College Station, entered the Kingdom of 
Heaven on Wednesday, January 7, 2015. Graveside services will be 10:00 a.m., 
Saturday, January 10, 2015 at the Wortham Cemetery with Rev. John Maurer 
officiating.

She was born in Richland, TX, on February 7, 1932 to Rudolf and Elsieline 
Fleming. Virginia graduated from Richland High School, Richland, TX, before 
attending Navarro Junior College in Corsicana and later West Texas State in 
Canyon, TX.

Virginia worked for Texas A&M College in College Station, Production Credit in 
Corsicana, and Education Credit Union in Waco. 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 is 
survived by her daughter Carrolyn Breeden, Willis, TX; son John W. Smith and 
wife Dana, College Station; grandchildren Clint Bennett and wife Jennie; Holly 
Downs and husband Jason of College Station; Kari Smith Gibson and husband Noah, 
Alexandria, VA; Amanda Smith, San Antonio, TX; and Emily Smith, College Station, 
TX. 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”.
