A woman who died in a crash in Central Hawke's Bay over Easter weekend was Jane Hunter.
Hunter was a well known member of the CHB community and ran a farm in Porangahau with her husband and former district councillor, James Hunter.
She was described by her family in a notice in the Hawke's Bay Today on Thursday as "always incredibly positive, energetic and kind".
She was a former lawyer and was also a member of the Porangahau Golf Club.
She died on Wednesday after a crash on the intersection of Pourerere Rd and River Rd near Waipawa about 7pm on Monday.
