Ash Good, 38, died at St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney on Saturday.
She grew up in Echuca and attended St Joseph’s College.
Her nine month-old daughter, Harriet, is currently in a serious but stable condition at Sydney Children’s Hospital, Randwick, having been stabbed by the man at the scene.
The offender, who NSW Police Inspector Amy Scott shot dead after he failed to drop his weapon, has been identified as 40 year-old Queenslander Joel Cauchi.
Reports say that in her final moments in the mall, Ms Good handed off Harriet to two men, hoping they would be able to save her.

Following the announcement of Ash’s death, there was an outpouring of community grief and support online.
A GoFundMe has been started by Ms Good’s friend Steven Foxwell.
At the time of going to print, it had raised almost $90,000. Donations are being accepted at gofundme.com/f/ash-good.
Four women and a man died at the scene at Westfield Bondi Junction in Sydney's eastern suburbs, and Ash later died in hospital.
Eight others were hospitalised, including Ash’s baby.
The man was seen on CCTV entering the centre about 3.10pm, leaving, and then returning a short time later and launching his attack.
