The grieving parents of the woman who was killed in Charlottesville when a car rammed into a crowd of protesters said that she was a born do-gooder with a strong sense of right and wrong.

“She was my only daughter—she was my heart,” said her father Mark Heyer.

The dad told New York Post that his daughter was a social justice warrior.

“My daughter was fighting for equal rights, demonstrating against hatred and doing what she thought was right,” Mark Heyer said. “She ended up dying to prove it.”
