The family of the lady who died WAS making a very big fuss.
The word family, even though it conveys plural because you think of more than one person, is actually singular because the group is put together as one.
But if you were to replace "family" with "family members," then you would use were because "members" would be the verb to be agreed with

Both are incorrect. We don't say "is died". The be verb 'is' cannot be used with died in this way. This kind of sentence - be + past participle - is a passive sentence and died cannot be used in passive sentences.

What is the correct grammar for the following sentence She wanted us to know that Tia Fraylon is one of the best customer service representatives she had the pleasure to speak with?
Very correct and traditional grammar requires that we use the Past Tense in the second sentence, and NOT the Present, but I believe the Americans tend to ignore this rule (so I would say ..."Tia Fraylon WAS..."). The rest of the sentence is OK.It is perfectly correct as it stands. We would say "was" only if the person in question had died.
