The 26-year-old mom's SUV was found off the road on Sept. 9 and pronounced her dead at the scene, according to the Virginia Beach Police Department.
"For those of us that really knew Katie - you know her zest for life, interest in cars, and the LOVE she possessed for her family and friends but more so than life it’s self…. she LOVED HER SON!"
A friend wrote about Hinnershitz and her loving personality on a GoFundMe page.
The fundraising page, which had raised nearly $1,800 by September 12, was started to provide for Hinnershitz's four-year-old son and to help pay funeral costs, the page said.
Friends took to the GoFundMe page to remember Hinnershitz and her "beautiful soul".
A candle light vigil and balloon release will take place at Northside Park on September 13 at 6:30 p.m., according to Hinnershitz's aunt.
