Nga Roimata Beattie Rihari's car was hit by another vehicle driving on the wrong side of the road on Mason Ave in Moerewa, south of Kerikeri.
The man's been charged with driving with excess breath alcohol - and Police aren't ruling out further charges.
Northland Police's Sergeant Ryan Gray says the driver shouldn't have been out during the Covid-19 lock down.
Rihari's family are waiting until the country moves to alert level three to farewell her.
