"Mom's mother was a Smith she passed away when mom was only 11 years. (Inez)."
-- Comment on a photo of Verda Mae Smith Christian with her first child Inez
Verda Mae's daughter Inez was born on 5 March 1919. This would mean that Verda Mae died in 1930. The date of death reported on the genealogy where the photo was posted, however, was 28 May 1933. This would be 14 years after Inez was born. Family memory could have gotten the relative age of Inez wrong. Alternatively, at age 11 in 1933, she would have been born in 1922.
Some genealogies have the date as 29 May 1933. "LaQuittaOK" makes the comment on her Smith Family Tree that that date comes from the family Bible.
"Verda Mae Smith Christian: In family Bible shows death on May 29th [1933]."
