I'm not certain that she still has the last name of Smiley. That was her surname in 1949. Smiley isn't the surname of her parents so I am assuming that it is a married name. Her age is between 77 and 87. She wouldn't be on the California birth index under that surname as it is probably her married name. I don't know her middle name.
