Her husband Lee Lovell, 43, who was also stabbed, described his wife as the “glue to our family”.
Two boys, aged 17, have been charged with murder.
Mr Lovell, whose injuries were non-life threatening, told reporters his family was “devastated”.
“Emma was the glue to our family,” he said. “She was such a beautiful person. We’re all just devastated from her loss.
“It’s senseless. I don’t know what people do it for.”
Mr Lovell, originally from Ipswich, shared photographs on social media of the family, including their two daughters, at a nearby Sunshine Coast beach on Christmas Day.
Christina Lofthouse, who has been friends with the couple for 30 years, said: “She was just the most amazing person.
“She was selfless, protective of her children, she doted on her children, mine, her nieces and nephews. They were her world.
“She was the most amazing friend, mother and wife.”
