Former Tasmanian attorney-general Vanessa Goodwin will be farewelled at a state funeral.
Dr Goodwin died on Saturday, the day of the state election, at the age of 48 after a battle with brain cancer.
Premier Will Hodgman, a close friend and colleague, says her funeral will take place on Friday at St David's Cathedral in Hobart.
"She will be carried in our hearts and will continue to motivate and inspire us as to how we can be the very best government we can be," he said on Tuesday.
"Vanessa was a person of great integrity, great composure, great intelligence and also a very strong support to me."
Dr Goodwin was diagnosed with cancer in March last year and withdrew from parliament and public life soon after.
Mr Hodgman visited her in hospital on the day of the election before she died.
