Amber Street, a hairdresser from Pagham, died following a collision at the junction of Poling Street and the A27 Arundel Road on July 15.
The 20-year-old was described by family members as a “beautiful girl with a wonderfully generous nature”.
Paying tribute, the family said: “Amber was our ‘family girl’. Born at St. Richard’s Hospital in Chichester in 2006, she loved her family more than anything. She even had the word ‘family’ tattooed alongside other tributes to those closest to her.
“From a young age, Amber’s generosity and love for others shone through, only growing stronger as she entered adulthood. At times, silly and playful, her infectious joyfulness is fondly remembered by her family and friends.
“Amber was hardworking and talented, and she excelled in her chosen profession. She begun training as a hairdresser in Chichester in her late teenage years and went on to build a career doing what she loved.”

They added: “She was a beautiful girl with a wonderfully generous nature. She loved her family more than anything and was always thinking of others. She had a sense of care and compassion for others that was unmatched.
“Her loss is hard to bear but whilst tragic and incomprehensible, in her all-too-short life Amber impacted us all in profound ways, the legacy of which we will carry with us forever.
“We are forever changed by having known her and we feel blessed to have been touched by someone with such a wondrous spirit. We want to honour the person Amber was by amplifying that spirit and living lives that pay tribute to it every day.”
Amber leaves behind her father, Ben, mother, Emily, younger brother, Harry, and a large extended family, who are all devastated by her loss.
