The woman killed in the Easter holiday weekend's only fatal road crash had a "perfect" day mountain biking with family before the collision.
Jacqueline Helen Marsden, 50, from Rotorua, died in a crash involving two vehicles near Lake Pukaki in Canterbury on April 5.
A death notice said she was the "dearly loved and adored wife of Rob, and wonderful, loving mum of Daniel".
"Her last day with us mountain biking near Mt Cook was so perfect and will be a treasured memory of the life we shared," the notice said.
"You will be etched in our hearts forever and your example will continue to inspire us."
Ms Marsden was the front seat passenger in a Ford Courier travelling north-bound over the Pukaki dam before it collided with a southbound Landcruiser.
The 43-year-old driver of the Courier was taken to Christchurch Hospital by helicopter as a precaution along with two girls, aged one and a teenager, who were in rear seats.
Police said they were all wearing safety belts and the one-year-old was in a correctly fitted car seat. They were discharged from hospital without serious injury.
The driver of the Landcruiser was taken to hospital as a precaution and later discharged.
Police said it was a timely reminder of the importance of using appropriate restraints.
The death was the only fatality on the roads during Easter weekend, down from five during the holiday in 2014. The only Easter weekend without a fatal crash was in 2012.
A service for Ms Marsden will be held at the Clevedon Presbyterian Church on Monday.
The man killed when his car and a stock truck collided in Canterbury last month was Iyad Hassan Mohammad Abunahleh, 39.
Mr Abunahleh lived in New Zealand but was originally from Jordan, police said.
On March 29 his Honda Civic collided with a truck and trailer unit carrying stock on the Rangitata Rd bridge, north of Orari. He died in an ambulance on the way to hospital.
Mr Abunahleh was the sole occupant of the car, and the truck driver was unhurt.
Police said the death had been referred to the Coroner. Investigations were continuing.
