Mrs Axiom was killed about 11pm on Friday when a utility travelling on Serpentine Creek Road struck the rear of a sedan before veering into her minivan, police allege.

More than $6000 has been raised in about 13 hours, with GoFundMe page set up by her sister Cat Michalakellis.

Ms Michalakellis said she hoped to raise about $1000 towards funeral and living costs.

"It is with deep sadness that I share the passing of my beautiful, strong, passionate sister after a horrific car accident took her life late last night," she said.

"Mersina was a loving mother, a daughter, a sister, an aunty, wife and to so many people she meant the world.

"Mersina was loved by many and she always did what she could to help those less fortunate than herself."

Ms Michalakellis said her family was "going through the motions" and appreciated messages of hope, love and support received.

"We are raising money for her husband Anthony and her three children," she said.

"The money will be used towards the cost of living and the funeral."

The forensic crash unit was investigating the crash and police were appealing for anyone travelling in the area at the time with dashcam footage to come forward.
