Star Wardell was crossing Washington Avenue in Egg Harbor Township when she was struck around 12 a.m. July 28, the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office said.
A GoFundMe for Wardell's family said she was walking the dog in front of her house. The campaign had raised more than $2,700 as of Aug. 2.
She lived in Ventnor for 20 years before moving to Egg Harbor Township.
"Star loved spending time with her beautiful family, caring for and sharing her love of animals, and bringing about a positive outlook to every situation," her obituary says.
"Star was not only known for being a great partner, mother, and caretaker but for her kindness, wholesomeness, and uplifting spirit as well."
