"Our mom was truly a loving person, and everyone loved her. She lived a life of service and selflessness. She will be missed dearly," Fair's daughter, Shyla Deacon, wrote online.

The family has set up a GoFundMe page to help cover the expenses related to this unexpected loss.

Deacon also said her son, Beverly's grandson, was driving at the time of the crash. He is expected to recover from non life-threatening injuries.

Fair was a mother, wife and grandmother who "absolutely loved the Bucks, loved watching professional tennis and loved going on cruises," said Deacon.
