Connie V. Harnick



Connie V. Harnick, age 73, a resident of Albuquerque for 50 years, died October 30, 2021. She is survived by her mother, Alida Vandergeest; her husband, David; her children Matthew and Kari; one grandchild, James; her sisters, Jackie, Joanne, and Judy; brothers, Jake, Jim, and Johnny (and all of their spouses). She was preceded in death by her father, Jacob; and her sister Lida.



Connie graduated from the University of Albuquerque with a degree in accounting with honors. She became a CPA and worked for Arthur Anderson in Denver and Pete Marwick in Albuquerque before going into private practice, where she was an in-house CPA for a large group of surgeons. However, she was best known in the tennis community. She was an excellent tennis player with a national ranking and volunteered her services for several tennis programs. She met David at the Tennis Club of Albuquerque. Not only was she a great tennis player, but a wonderful wife and mother. Unfortunately, Connie had a rare disease called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy. She died peacefully, with family and her best friend, Frances, at her side.



A celebration of life will be held at FRENCH-Wyoming on Sunday, November 21, 2021. There will be a family hour from 1pm-2pm and then an hour for friends from 2pm-3pm. Connie wanted this to be fun and casual, tennis clothes welcome. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Special Olympics of NM. Please visit our online guestbook for Connie at
