Travis Audubon is deeply saddened to share the news of the passing of our former member and dedicated volunteer, Lori Malloy. Lori was a graduate of the 2019 Master Birder Program and played an integral role in supporting and strengthening the program for several years. Her passion for wildlife and education continued when she moved to the Rio Grande Valley to serve as Assistant Director of the National Butterfly Center.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to her husband, Max, and her children, Luna and Liam, during this difficult time. Lori’s contributions and spirit will be warmly remembered by all who had the privilege of working with her.

There will be a Celebration of Life Fiesta in Honor of Lori at Lupe Tortilla in Austin (Arbor Walk location, 183/N Mopac) on Saturday, December 20, 2025 from 11am to 1pm. If you’d like to attend, please RSVP by Thursday, December 18 here.
