Lara Dolnik Obituary
2022
Lara A. Dolnik, witness whisperer, friend to wildlife, photographer, musician, lover of adventure, completed her seemingly endless fascination with understanding and elevating others on April 25, 2022. She was lovingly held by her greatest loves. Her ashes are to be spread in the wilderness of Africa and Australia.
Eternal gratitude to those who relentlessly loved her despite the odds, showed up in all manner of creative ways: cooked meals, took wild adventures, danced on rooftops, drove to beaches, sung in harmonies, sent messages of light and prayers, and otherwise filled her spirit during what otherwise would have been dark days.
In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to Houston Food Bank or other charity of your choice.

Sad to hear of this loss. Met and studied and worked alongside Lara at ANU in Canberra, witnessed her amazing energy, thankful to have Lata play flute at one of my weddings and admired her work from afar and seeing what psychological knowledge can do for the law!

I am so grateful to have known you. You were truly an amazing women. The ultimate boss babe. I enjoyed the time we did get to spend together. I loved just to hear you talk, your ozzie accent and choice of words was like you were speaking poetry. You had the kindest heart and soul! Rest my dear sweet Lara.
