Smith had been active on social media leading up to her sudden death. Just days before her passing was announced, she posted a video to YouTube of a trip she had taken to the movie theater with her three children to watch The Little Mermaid.

Smith’s final Instagram post, shared on May 19, reveals her three children all fast asleep.

“So glad she documented stuff. Her kids will have so many memories and videos to look at,” reads one top comment on the YouTube video.

Another fan wrote, “I’m so glad you documented so much of your life. Not for us but so that the kids can look back and know how much you loved them and how you were a celebrity mom who focused on quality time with your kids. So sorry your life was cut short.”

Smith had since departed Wild ‘N Out to focus on pursuing new endeavors. She had found new work as a realtor and had also recently launched a lipgloss line, called the J Nova Collection.
