I was sort of in the same boat as you. I used to hang out with her often due to a collection of mutual friends. I found her world views just so entirely incompatible with mine as to preclude any sort of friendship. I didn't dislike her, I just didn't like her, if that makes sense.
Her passing, aside from just being tragic on its own, makes me very sad for the community she worked so hard to support. She was the champion for a lot of artists, and without her their world is going to be much harder.
I think most anyone would be happy with that assessment of their lives: what she did in life mattered. it mattered enough that even people who weren't close to her saw her impact on the world and appreciated it.
