Virgil G. Smith, 80, of Anderson, Indiana, left this earth on March 4, 2022, after suffering multiple injuries from an automobile accident close to his home. Our hearts and our souls are heavy with his absence.

He was born to Arthur and Anna Mae Smith. Mr. Smith was one of twelve siblings that included: Arthur Jr., Robert, Paul, Geneva Lamprey, Jeannette Moss, Richard, Leo, Leon, Marvin, and Herbert.

Mr. Smith worked in corrosive proof construction traveling all over the United States for Ceilcote / Master Builders for over twenty years with his extended but close family members from the Bair and Metzger families.

His heart was big and full. He was known for his generosity and kindness. He would help anyone in need. He was always outgoing and had a smile on his face that would light up a room.
