Virginia Lea Obituary

Virginia Lea was born to John and Linda Smedley in Pasadena, Texas. Her husband loved her uncondtionally. She was truly everything Steve wanted in a wife and was absolutely the "light of his life". Her husband, like her brother, loved her laugh. Virginia enjoyed watching basketball and football games with Steve. Her children were loved deeply by their Mother as she wanted the very best for each of them always. She enjoyed camping, fishing, and spending time baking, painting and making crafts with her children. Listening to music especially jazz, was an inspiration to her life. Visitation will be from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM Monday February 27th, 2012 at Paul U. Lee Funeral Home with a graveside service to follow at 12:30 PM at La Porte Cemetery.
