Virginia Lee Smart passed away on June 10, 2019 peacefully at her home in Oklahoma City. Virginia was born in 1935 in Durant, Oklahoma but spent most of her life in Oklahoma City (a city that she dearly loved). Virginia spent 61 years of marriage with her beloved husband, Jerry Smart, Sr. who passed away in June of 2011.
Virginia was one unique lady who enjoyed painting, crocheting, movies (specifically musicals), spending time with family and socializing (enjoying beer, wine and margaritas) at her favorite local hangout 57th Street Lighthouse (a.k.a. Nancy's Kitchen) on North May Avenue. She could be found there many an evening sitting at the bar visiting with friends and making people smile.
Virginia's favorite place to spend time was either in her swing on her back porch or in Galveston, Texas on the beach. She loved the sound of the waves and the feeling of the sand between her toes. Virginia also loved dogs and never spent much time without a dog in her lap or by her side.
Virginia is survived by her Daughter Carol Wright and Son-in-Law David Wright, Daughter Jennie Brixey and Son-in-Law David Brixey, Son Jerry Smart, Jr., Granddaughter Amanda Andrews and Grandson-in-Law Mike Andrews and Great Grand Children Mikey and Jayden Andrews.
The family will receive guests at a "Come and Go Remembrance" viewing at Guardian West Funeral Home at 5820 NW 41st Street in Warr Acres, Oklahoma on Friday June 14, 2019 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM. Following the viewing everyone is invited to join us at 57th Street Lighthouse (a.k.a. Nancy's Kitchen) at 5708 North May Avenue in Oklahoma City for drinks and light snacks from 7:00 to 9:00 PM.
