Smith had often credited Denny for supporting his career and dreams. "It's so full circle," Smith told PEOPLE after winning the NBC show last month. "She's so happy for me and she knows this is exactly what I've dreamed about." He added, "[Denny has] been through it all with me and has been such a big support and foundation. To have her with me was so special."

Smith said Denny was a singer herself. She, along with his parents, accompanied Smith when he did the blind audition.
